I have a desktop running archlinux which has nvidia gtx 780 gpu which i dont think is supported by either bsd, so sadly that will probably remain running linux in the future. However, i specifically got a x230 thinkpad because i know itll be able to run both openbsd and freebsd as ive always been curious about bsd.
The laptop will be for regular daily usage with some light programming, etc. zfs is probably not an important factor as i keep all the downloads and important data on my desktop and possibly setting up a dedicated nas system in the future.
DE is also not a priority as i prefer tiling wm and generally run all the typical cli applications. Although freebsd having more ports does sound tempting. While openbsd i hear have the better documentations and seem to be considered as a more straightforward and simpler system which should be a better way to learn bsd ?
But is there anything i should know about openbsd ahead of time that might make it a pain to use as a daily os? Like not having multithreading so the memory arent used as efficiently, or not being able to use flash for some common websites that requires it, or just in general being a lot slower?
Freebsd does seem to have a very friendly community on the otherhand judging by the forum (which openbsd seems to lack)
I did notice few people in the forum talking about having switched to openbsd so i am also interested to learn why people decided to stick with freebsd or why you decided on switching to openbsd.
