This is why a love @vermaden 's writings.

He's dogfooding and honest about FreeBSD, not hiding himself behind a Netflix's claim or BSD stickers on a MacSilicon/Wintel laptop.

Oh and before all, his posts are relevant and helpful!

Thanks pal you do a lot for the ecosystem!

@omar @vermaden I agree with your opinion about Vermaden, especially as a person using a Mac Silicon laptop with a BSD Cafe sticker 😆

I'll mute myself for the week!

@omar @vermaden 😂 Don't worry, I was joking!

@stefano @omar

If that makes you more happy - I also use Macbook from time to time for work - as that is what I got as a device for remote access :)

... and I would switch that Macbook for OpenVPN (or any other VPN) in a second - to use my ThinkPad with FreeBSD for the same work instead.

@vermaden @omar I agree. I'd use FreeBSD (or any other BSD) in my laptop if possible. For the next device, I'll carefully check the compatibility. For now, I'm ok with using Linux on my minipc and MacOS on my laptop. I have hundreds of *BSD powered servers so I don't miss the opportunities to use them
