    I use it every day. On my MacBook running MacOS 😬

    Seriously though, I tried putting FreeBSD on my Linux laptop a few years ago and it was not a fun time. Reminded me a lot of running Linux on desktop in the 2000s when I first discovered Linux.

    I’m rooting for them though. I like the idea of keeping development and documentation so tightly integrated and maintained by a single dedicated company.






  • Time to leave Windows already. It’s been a broken mess for so long. Literally decades. One of my first jobs when I was a teenager in the 2000s was fixing electronics, often Windows computers. It was a broken mess back then too.

    The alternatives are good. Desktop Linux works pretty well out of the box last time I used a Linux laptop as my daily driver. If specific software you need isn’t supported there’s undoubtedly an open source alternative, or a web app. Most browsers let you “install” web apps now too. I used the full MS Office suite for years as installed web apps.

    Macs are expensive up front but they last forever and are rock solid with security and stability. I never have to fuss with mine, and there’s almost definitely a Mac version of whatever specific software you need on Windows.

    Everything runs some form of UNIX now. Stop wasting time with Microsoft’s ancient 25 year old NT kernel and the broken (and now spyware) OS they built on top of it.
