yup I daily drove FreeBSD for a week. I loved it, I really did. but the wifi was just…I couldn’t do it anymore. I had two scripts written specifically for it. one that would easily connect me and another that was a “watchdog” that would monitor when the connection dropped and then reconnect me. it would drop pretty much every 15 to 30 minutes. and when it was connected it was slooooooow. so I just went back to Linux. Also since I’m a web dev a couple tools I use just weren’t available on FreeBSD so I had to install a very small debian vm and tunnel into that to simply run builds and deploy them. that was also a pain to figure out and not have wiped after every reboot.
I might just slap it on my extra 256gb ssd and keep it as a “hobby os” and just keep daily driving linux.
No one can force you to use Linux
Me and the boys loading into a van with skimasks, crowbars and baseball bats, and a bootable installer USB:
We’ll see about that, won’t we
Install Arch on all his computers while you tie him to a chair and force him to watch!
no don’t stop
edit: hang on, will you make sure all the drivers are installed properly?
I’ll have you hang head first off the ceiling and read the Arch wiki to you.
shivers with antici… . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . …pation
Uhh can i choose another arch based distro?
No. The only other option is TempleOS.
Relieved in FreeBSD
eventually relieved in FreeBSD once the wifi decides to not drop and maintain a decent connection
If you need wifi on BSD you’re usually boned. Or at least very slow.
