@dcc That was my daily driver for years, but the lag in ZFS support and my huge collection of porn^H^H^H^H family movies and data caused me to drift away. Still love OpenBSD, but I'm focusing on big data (ZFS) and Risc-V being part of my "future" (including 32 bit controllers), so FreeBSD might waste less of my time? IDK, love the OpenBSD guys and the way they do things.
@dcc One of the things I loved about OpenBSD was it was "workstation" install, where FreeBSD is "server" install. OpenBSD was frigidity with some hardware, but the team ALWAYS made sure a Lenovo ThinkPad out of the box could be a OpenBSD workstation, with minimal headache. I love that about them.
What NomadBSD is, is THAT for Ubuntu level hardware support, and FreeBSD (as amazing as it is with ZFS and all that jazz..) is NEVER focused on that, it's "Debian" not "Ubuntu Desktop." NomadBSD... NomadBSD is "Ubuntu Desktop," only done RIGHT, with backwards scalability and minimal (by comparison) forks from OG code, to a "make world" situation recompiling EVERYTHING with optimal flags for YOUR TARGET HARDWARE... just a "different" learning curve, not a harder one.
