After messing around with windows 11 for 6 months or so I am going back to bsd. Probably install it this weekend.

I’m thinking about setting up a DigitalOcean droplet with freebsd for a game server. I have no idea if it’s worth the effort having never used it before, especially for such a small use case but it seems like a neat hobby project.

nope, but remains a relatively interesting one. interesting architecture philosophy, and managed to throw together a working cow filesystem with a tiny fraction of the apparent effort of the linux efforts.

Thanks for the comments. I've never tried Dragonfly either. I don't know too much about it which is why I posted before. Anyways, I've been rolling with FreeBSD for about a week now and I have to say I still really like it. I last used it earlier in the year when my power supply crapped out and I had to use an old cpu until I got the power supply RMAd. I installed xfce. All the programs that I use on windows are available for freebsd except for spotify (but there are workarounds for that). Sound works. Wifi works. Well sort of. Right now I am having some weird dropped connection issue that I am still working on. I didn't have any issues before with it so I am not sure what's going on. Right now the plan is to just use freebsd as my os for the foreseeable future. Anyways thats it. TLDR: FreeBSD is good

So I think I fixed my wifi issues. I was getting lots of dropped connections and from what I found searching around was that it may be due to the multicast on the wifi card. Its an intel and I was using the iwn driver. I would be connected but every ten minutes or so I would disconnect for a minute or so and then reconnect. The fix that I found on the freebsd forums was to switch from dhcp to static ip for wifi. It seems to be working fine now. No drops at all.

Nope apparently that didn't fix the problem. I am still getting connection problems. Oh well, back to the drawing board.

I would probably use freebsd if I didn’t want to do anything with my computer because tbh it blows linux out of the water the x in linux stands for sux
