Have read the forum for years, but never registered. I recently followed the thread about the Spectre/Meltdown issues and it has been enlightening - some of the best discourse I've seen on that subject. Discussion elsewhere, particularly on Linux fora, has been "a bit chaotic" in comparison.
So registered recently, but nothing much to post about... my stuff works and the users here can certainly answer FreeBSD related questions better than I can.
I use OpenBSD mainly, DragonFly and FreeBSD also, but less so. All good OS. Only a hobby for me though, in professional life it's MS Windows.
I started with Linux in 2002, watched it evolve and decided to give up on it altogether back in 2012 (I think 8.3-release was my first crack at FreeBSD). Most Linux distributions these days just seem to focus on complex "automagic". There are something like 20 distributions, the other few thousand are just distributions based on distributions (based on distributions), where the difference is often a few preinstalled packages, a fancy desktop wallpaper, a funny name and a logo... and of course since the complex init system replacement monstrosity came along, I've no real desire to ever revisit.
