you guessed wrong
PS: Sorry for being moody. I know you probably did not read the full thread and wanted to help. I was still upset about Anok's silly posts. When somebody with an overwhelming eight months experience with FreeBSD comes up to me, behaves as if he was the god of UNIX and then tells the world that everybody who does not have the same opinion, has no right to use this divine OS and should leave immediately, I tend to become a little bit annoyed
People like him are obviously not willing to understand, there are people out there who do not have the same life as they do and hence need different things from their computers. Twenty years back, when I had a room in the basement full of old CRTs and humming old boxes, I had no problem to spend a week or two waiting for a solution to a connectivity problem of a little text-box in the corner. But those days are long gone by!
Today I am out in the field. Imagine I am at customer's office and she hands me a portable HDD and says "Ok here are the database dumps and all the documentation, please have a look". So I get my notebook out, open it and FreeBSD starts booting. Her sparkling eyes look at the letters flying around on the screen and she admiringly says "Oh, this is FreeBSD. I heard so much about it, it needs a lot of experience, doesn't it?" So with a swanky grin I log in (console of course), fire up i3, open a console, type a line or two of text and .... "Error ugen0 device not configured, unretryable error, abort abort abort" Her shiny blue eye(s) look at me and say "EXPLAIN!" So I say "Oh, well I guess you should go for lunch with your colleagues now, while I stay here and fix this issue".
After 30 minutes she is back and I say "Ok well, I have googled the problem, modified some BIOS settings, tried a patch I found somewhere, but to no avail. I opened up a request at the developer's site and we need to wait for an answer. What do you think, shall we make a new appointment in, say, three months, when next release comes up?"
If I haven't been kicked out by then, she might ask "So why don't you use a different OS, one that does not have issues with hardware?". If I answer "You say that because you are a baboon who is just used to her old OS and you are not willing to learn!", how long will it take my FreeBSD notebook to google the next job centre? What do you think?
