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?

#BSD #FreeBSD #OpenBSD #NetBSD

[larvitz@burningboard.net]

@darth My main OS is FreeBSD 15.0-RELEASE with XFCE4 (on a ThinkPad T480)

[emaste@mastodon.social]

@darth #FreeBSD's been my primary OS for over 20 years

[grahamperrin@mastodon.bsd.cafe]

@darth Kubuntu with OpenZFS-native encrypted root-on-ZFS.

Previously, for around a decade, FreeBSD.

[stefano@mastodon.bsd.cafe]

@darth primary on servers

[tionisla@mastodon.bsd.cafe]

@darth Primary OS on daily driver.

@darth

#BSD all the way.

[drbrain@mastodon.social]

@darth @miah my work laptop is macOS, my hobby servers where my hobby code I wrote runs are FreeBSD

[angel@triptico.com]

My main is Linux, but have an OpenBSD small laptop

[yrabbit@mastodon.sdf.org]

@darth That's exactly right—I switched to #DragonFlyBSD as my main OS as soon as Linux started stinking up with systemd. Now I'm using #FreeBSD

[kemotep@mastodo.neoliber.al]

@darth

I am in the process of making FreeBSD my primary OS. It’s replaced Debian on my raspberry pi and I have just set up some spare SATA SSDs to install to on my desktop (hoping to use ZFS1). I will be triple booting Debian, FreeBSD, and Windows (for the wife) until I feel more confident.

[miah@hachyderm.io]

@drbrain @darth my desktop and laptops run OpenBSD, I have a Linux nuc for work dev, my at home infra runs on OpenBSD, and OpenWRT. I of course have a work Mac book that gets used sometimes when I'm having a zoom issues, but it's mostly ignored.

[betabug@mastodon.sdf.org]

@darth I've been running OpenBSD on my laptop(s) since about 2012 or so. It's no big deal.

[carson@social.chittom.family]

@darth Primary, in the sense of "desktop," is OpenBSD—it's been other things at various times, but that's what I keep coming back to. But for servers I generally use OmniOS or Debian (or Debian in an LX branded illumos zone).

And my work system is macOS because of my only two choices, better that than Windows 11.

[gumnos@mastodon.bsd.cafe]

@darth

Daily driver: FreeBSD
Kid's junker laptop: OpenBSD
Writerdeck Netbook: OpenBSD (though sometimes HaikuOS)
iBook G4: OpenBSD
Travel laptop: one each of OpenBSD & FreeBSD
VPS instances: a mix of FreeBSD & OpenBSD

[snow@teardrop.net]

@darth Primary workstation is FreeBSD 15 with triple monitors, Wayland, Wayfire.

[mirabilos@toot.mirbsd.org]

@darth it’s complicated.

(My main BSD laptop broke physically, but I got a replacement, but the fast VM I used for building is on a machine I don’t have any more, and I refactored myself into a corner and must fix MirBSD first so atm I daily-drive an X61 with systemd-free Debian but otherwise the same setup (X without DM or DE, evilwm, xterm, screen, sirc, pine, lynx, …) I have on the BSD machine, and intend to switch back once I have sufficient time+tuits to make that usable again and update to LibreSSL, but atm I cannot even set up a. new build VM easily enough, it’s all tricky.)

[thelastpsion@oldbytes.space]

@darth I'm mostly using various releases of various BSDs in VMs for cross-platform software testing.

I do have plans to experiment with FreeBSD on a couple of machines in my homelab, and to run NetBSD on a few unusual old computers. If I ever get the opportunity, I'd like to try OpenBSD on a ThinkPad X230.

[outofcreativity@exquisite.social]

@darth

My Laptop is running OpenBSD since some years and I'm really happy with it.

#BSD #FreeBSD #OpenBSD #NetBSD

[valpackett@social.treehouse.systems]

@darth used to be FreeBSD until some 4 years ago and I used to be a contributor even. "graduated" to Linux with no regrets tbh
