  • I have used Freebsd for sometime on my desktop back in 2021. For the most part I had a good experience except that I couldn’t figure out how to connect earphones/mic on the ports on my PC case. I had to plug it directly to my motherboard for Freebsd to detect them. I used an Nvidia card at that time and it also worked very nicely although it had much older drivers than Linux.

    I ended up switching back to linux because of 2 reasons -

    1. I have a few BTRFS drives that I use regularly and couldn’t afford to buy some new ones for Freebsd at that time.

    2. I couldn’t play games using steam proton. I don’t know the situation these days, but I’ll surely check it out If it has improved since then.

    You should give Freebsd a try, you might like it.
















  • Hehe, any kind of ricing can be taken too far.

    Funnily enough I recently switched from WM’s to DE (and KDE plasma at that) so that I don’t spend entire days adjusting making pointless window border customization and autostart scripts that are already taken care of by a Desktop environment.

    That said, I cant live without my keybinds so I’ve replicated the same on my Plasma setup.



  • As someone from India, I agree with you.

    I guess people just want to use what everyone else uses. Using something different than windows is instantly assumed to be very difficult.

    I even showed my friends how they can play games on linux instead of having their laptops get stuck while using windows 11 , but they still won’t even consider trying it.

    Btw if you don’t mind - do you play apex legends ? (Judging by your username)
