 >> Sounds like a happy life!
 ap> It is when he's sleeping :) He can get rather grumpy at times.. but yeah
can't we all

 >> Curious, what in particular do you like? I've used bsd in the past but
 >> have always come back to linux. Are you using it for general desktop purposes, development, both..?

 ap> Yeah, both. I'm not sure if I can really put my finger on what I
same thing here. I gues sit's just what you happened to get used to...... *cough* emacs *cough*

 ap> particularly like about it. Linux is ok, I suppose there's just the
 ap> little things about distros that turn me off. It seems that they're
 ap> either too bleeding edge - eg arch or tumbleweed, or too out of date, eg debian. I really don't like snap packages due to
 ap> the way it uses loopback devices, so that puts ubuntu out, I like LXQT, which puts mint out (I
 ap> also like KDE) openSUSE leap comes close, but again, a bit out of date. AlmaLinux doesn't have certain packages I need - I
 ap> could probably find
 ap> them in some other repo, but it's also a bit out of date. Void Linux
 ap> comes very close, but it's default kernel doesn't include the minix file system, fedora and opensuse use a grub 2 package
 ap> instead of plain grub.

and to be honest... THIS is why i love gentoo or "linux from scratch".. nothing wrong with rolling your own distro. Used to do that back in the day when it took a day to compile a kernel on a 486 lol


 ap> Yeah a lot of those things are a bit picky, minix filesystem and grub
 ap> package are particular for my OS I like to work on from time to time, and
 ap> I haven't got that sorted out on freebsd yet.

closest i really get to bsd lately has been working on my pfsense box lol i do have an fbsd vm running but havent used that in a while. maybe i should throw it on some old hardware and run it as a daily driver for a week see what happens lol.
