    For *BSD fans, I wish to understand something that truly bothers me.

    You are a fan of one or more BSD os. Is that BSD (doesn't matter which one) your daily driver, your primary OS on your main computer?

    @darth@silversword.online Since GPUs have shitty open source support, my main machine in front of my physical self is a MacBook. GPU support is the only reason that's the case.

        @darth solid, reliable, easy to use, runs everything I need including YouTube. As DBMail maintainer I also run Ubuntu and Docker for various Linux distros though still prefer FreeBSD.

            @darth Fellow BSD enthusiast here. I've been running BSD on all my systems for over two decades now. My favorite BSD is #HardenedBSD but I'm quite naturally biased. ๐Ÿ™‚

              @darth Just switched from Void Linux back to FreeBSD on my daily driver.

              Before that, I ran OpenBSD on my laptop for like 10 years plus.

              Just not happy that dxvk in wine doesn't support my onboard intel graphics on FreeBSD 15.

                          @RussSharek @darth obsd 'twas my daily driver from '99 until Mac OS X was released (and even then I still run it on my appliances and servers and non-Apple hardware, 25+ years now). Best OS on the planet.

                            I personally don't believe that Linux will be a safe alternative in the near future at the rate the community has been getting politicized. *BSD has and likely will be a fallback for me in the worst case scenario.
