The BSDs are *awesome* operating systems. #FreeBSD is a high performance general purpose OS. It is modern #Unix. #NetBSD is for portability, it supports nearly every CPU architecture under the sun. #OpenBSD is security-focused. #GhostBSD is a FreeBSD fork focused on the desktop.

Most of my experience is with FreeBSD, which I will enthusiastically share. It is unquestionably a solid server OS. As a desktop OS, it works quite well. It definitely does not feel like "Linux from 2004." The major desktop environments like #KDE #GNOME #XFCE are all supported and #nvidia releases drivers for the OS too. Modern hardware is supported. For *cutting edge hardware*, #Linux may be the better bet here. It's a little slower to adopt cutting edge gear because it is focused on stability and elegant solutions, not trend-chasing.

FreeBSD is an excellent OS to learn. It runs beautifully and it's more coherent and better designed. Documentation is *solid*.

Edit: Corrected errors. GhostBSD, not DragonflyBSD. Thanks @aru

"At precisely 4:00 PM Eastern Time on November 19, 2025, Nvidia Corporation released third-quarter earnings that exceeded Wall Street expectations. Revenue reached $57.01 billion against a consensus estimate of $54.9 billion. Earnings per share came in at $1.30 versus the anticipated $1.26. The stock surged 5% in after-hours trading, adding approximately $130 billion to the company’s market capitalization.

Eighteen hours later, the Nasdaq Composite closed down 1.21%. Nvidia’s gains evaporated. Bitcoin, which had briefly rallied, fell 2.07% to $89,567. What happened in those 18 hours represents something unprecedented in financial markets: algorithmic trading systems detected accounting irregularities faster than human analysts could read the earnings footnotes.

This is the story of that detection, the fraud it uncovered, and the systemic collapse now unfolding in real time."
