Eh, it's alright for servers, it's a bit of an in-between for OpenBSD and your generic Linux Distro. I use it all the time on servers and for the majority of the time it's rock solid stable. But as for using it for a desktop, not my thing. It's popular with those who don't mind a build-world now and then. No idea what the desktop drivers situation is, probably OK, there's a lot of smart people in the BSD community. I'd use it on servers, but not for a go-to daily thing.
I like it for public facing servers. Tighter command set and for its use of pf for firewall instead of iptables.
The only downside is the narcy bitch homosexuals that provide support on the freebsd forums who are truculent little bitches to deal with in extracting useful information to questions. Its as though they rely on deriding the people asking simple questions to make opaque the approachability to FreeBSD so as to protect their little power silo.
I agree regarding the bitching on the support forums. Personally throughout my decade of using Unix I've almost never read the manual. I've learned most of what I know by looking up forum threads of someone asking the same question i had, which is akin to heresy for FreeBSD RTFM worshippers.
its the reason I stay away from it. I have zero want for something like that. If you choose the devil for your logo, god knows what else you get up to. I heard the devs sold their users out to the FBI at one point. hard fucking pass.

Have you tried using your PC for something productive instead of wobbling your windows around and watching japanese animations about getting magically turned into a 5 year old girl?
does BSD offer absolutely NO practical benefits for a desktop user? No security? No continuity? Init doesn't fucking matter? It's just another way to use firefox?
It’s a complete system. Though audio on Linux recently isn’t shit. FreeBSD figured that out years ago. Same goes for all other core components. But you basically can have a fully functional desktop if your hardware is supported. Which is most things.
it's not a fork dipshit it's a build system it literally fucking says so every single bsd retard will melt down the second you mention x11

The goal of Xenocara is to provide a framework to host local modifications and to automate the build of the modular X.Org components, including 3rd party packages and some software maintained by OpenBSD developers.!!!!! It is not a fork.!!!!! We are tracking X.Org modifications and try to push back our changes whenever they are good for upstreams too.
a FreeBSD desktop will essentially be the same as a Linux desktop, except you won't (easily) be able to do all of the things that you can do on Linux. there is no real advantage in limiting what you can do with your computer in this way, aside from autism. if all you do is browse Web, watch cartoons and play Morrowind, then the OS won't make any difference to you.
It's fine, often more "just werks" than linux distros like Ubuntu and Fedora. Only problem with it is that it doesn't have CUDA or ROCM support, so you can't use it for any ML/AI stuff without dual booting or virtualization.

Who said it was bad? I would never use it on my personal computer, Linux works just better in that regard. But on servers it can work quite well.

Of course you just had to make another thread.

Then you're either a newfag or too stupid to know how to check the catalog. Lurk more.
The logo is very satanic. That's why it has almost no users.

checks out

If you're "bored" why not try getting a job and moving out of your mom's house for a change? Not installing a server OS on your desktop.
It makes loonix look like shit, unless you're on a laptop, in which case you can expect wireless speeds of < 1 Gb/s

yes except you dont get vaapi and wine

>it's a complete system
wheres the windowing system then? last time i checked all BSDs package x11 which they dont develop inhouse
OpenBSD has their own heavily modified fork of X.org called Xenocara.
But it doesn't matter since all BSDs are stealing Linux GPU drivers anyway.
>heavily modified
it barley did some privilege changes and removed xorg.conf, in what way is it heavily modified?
