Need Feedback to stay on FreeBSD or not

Hey all,

I don't want to beat a dead horse but i would like some feedback..

My Chromebook/laptop needs sof-firmware to work and none of the BSD's have it so i have a decision to make.

Should i stay on any BSD or go back to Linux where sound works perfect on all distro's..

FreeBSD is my ultimate stop where i won't distro hop anymore but i really want sound..

USB audio works fine not taking away from that but i like speakers.

Question is do speakers really matter that much when using a distro ? should i move to another distro/os because one thing doesn't work?

The way i use my laptop Daily driver is I'm at home all the time and i do chores and work around the house.. i like music so i like keeping my laptop open and play music through Speakers but i can't.. For now i'm using on bluetooth on my phone and playing from that..

Should i just keep that up or what ?

Thanks

Do what you want to do. Think for yourself. Decide for yourself.

Nobody here will be able to answer questions like: "Do speakers really matter that much?" because everyone here will have a different reason/answer.
I have a Lenovo Thinkpad X1 carbon gen 9 for like 4 or 5 years now without working speakers. But my reasons, requirements and tradeoffs are likely different from yours.
 
Sell the chromebook and get a cheap ThinkPad?

For many users, the operating system is more important than the hardware IMO.

In around 5 years, chances are you won't even remember that chromebook. So why struggle with it today?

Thanks for the reply.

This is exactly what i was looking for.. you have a laptop that you still use without speakers.. Probably a dongle.. I was wondering if speakers would be a deal breaker for people.
