I tried out FreeBSD about, oh I’m not sure, maybe 15 years ago. I really liked it. The filesystem is much cleaner than Linux, and it was a nice experience. Unfortunately, or fortunately, I’m GPL for life and the BSD license just wasn’t sitting well with me so I went back to Linux. If you haven’t tried it out, and you’re not a gamer or whatever, I suggest trying it out. You might really like it.
If you are GPL fan you might like this OS : https://github.com/streaksu/Gloire
I’m going to take that for a little spin in a VM. Looks interesting.
Which BSD would be the best as a “normal desktop” system?
Focus on least tinkering necessary to get a browser open and connected to wifi?To quick try desktop BSD from UBS stick with persistent storage there’s NomadBSD : https://nomadbsd.org
GhostBSD and NomadBSD
