    @justine I'm using it, and I'm happy. I'd love to install a relay, but it seems it's quite Linux-centric at the moment. Some people are working on it, especially to run on OpenBSD so I'm keeping my eyes open.
  • I’ve been thinking about something.

    @ajlewis2 yes, it is. But the RC4 is available and can be downloaded: https://download.freebsd.org/snapshots/amd64/amd64/ISO-IMAGES/15.0/

    @stefano This is indeed a great post. Refreshing to read - the author didn't distro-bash but instead highlighted how needs were met.I have been leaning toward #FreeBSD after 20 years on #Debian, which has a special place in my heart. However, FreeBSD's *consistency*, elegant design, and better documentation are driving factors and I just can't look away. Over these two decades, Linux has definitely changed. It's no longer what it once was: a #Unix clone. It's evolved into its own thing. Software does that and that's OK. But a lot of the changes or "improvements" have been needlessly reinventing the wheel with a worsening user experience and convoluted results. The audio subsystems (ALSA -> PulseAudio -> Pipewire and of course the mess that is/was JACK) and #SystemD are two big examples.On SystemD, I don't disagree that Linux needed a modern init system. SystemD is faster, but from a human perspective it's worse. I am now typing *more* characters to manage services. Is there a reason why it couldn't be designed to manage services like:> $SERVICE start/stop/restartInstead, we are left with:> systemctl $SERVICE start/stop/restartBut I digress.#TBT I fell in love with FreeBSD when I first started my Linux journey in the mid-2000s, but only dabbled in it as it was never in any production environment I managed.I have a FreeBSD VM sitting in my lab somewhere but due to other factors rarely do I get to it. I'm thinking it's time I grab a spare laptop, load it up, and use it as a daily driver to really force myself to learn it.
