   @martenbjorklund @stefano OpenBSD has its own X system, FreeBSD offers Wayland as an option but I never tried, NetBSD, I think, uses standard X. From the 'linuxer' point of view of desktop I believe no one of them will satisfy a user used to linux .

     @stefano How is Wayland support? Flatpaks? And that “improve laptop support” initiative?

     About a month ago, while talking with a colleague who had experience only with Linux, he mentioned that he knew of the BSDs but had never "had the courage" to try them. I suggested he give them a shot, reminding him not to think of BSDs as "just another Linux" but as entirely different operating systems. Focusing on security, I recommended OpenBSD - also mentioning HardenedBSD, sure it would pique his interest.

     A few hours ago, he called me about something else and confirmed that for weeks now, he's been using OpenBSD on his laptop (disk encrypted), FreeBSD on two servers, and NetBSD on an embedded device at home. He plans to experiment with HardenedBSD and DragonflyBSD in the coming weeks.

     However, he did have one complaint: we've known each other for five years, and I never encouraged him to try this earlier! 😀

     #BSD #OpenBSD #FreeBSD #NetBSD #HardenedBSD #DragonflyBSD #Security #Tech #FOSS #RunBSD

     feld repeated this.

     O openBSD usa o xenocara que é uma versão do X com patchs. Creio que apartir dá versão 7. Já o wayland não está maduro o suficiente.

     @luck02 Sim foi isso que eu quis dizer com uma versão própria, diferente do Xorg padrão que os outros dois usam. Penso que vai demorar para adotarem o Wayland e removerem o X como as distribuições fashion linux fizeram

     @luck02 e o X do open entra no ar superfácil se configurando na instalação (ao contrário do Xorg nos outros dois que pode dar trabalho).

     @stefano Hi. This past week I have been trying out Freebsd 14.2. Coming from a Linux background, I was able to get my laptop configured and running Freebsd no problems, until I realized I couldn't get #Spotifyd working. I even tried to get it working in Linux, and no luck over there either. If you have any ideas on how to get Spotify working in Freebsd, please share. Thanks.
