I use arch, btw

you have my sympathies, i hope you get better soon.

Hi arch user, I use FreeBSD :)

I heard someone say this today in casual conversation. Brightened up my whole day!

@ostream just think. You might be the reason he loses downvote privileges. This is a worthy goal.

@ostream Long story short, stable, zfs built in and up to date packages.

Longer story:

I was running slackware from 1999 to 2022.

I got a PowerPC Mac and was running OSX for a few years.

Once I got a PC again Ubuntu was a thing and I tried that for a while but was annoyed how out of date the repo was.

I did try arch for a while to get up to date packages but I just didn't have time and the willpower to fix issues caused by system breaking updates.

New PC and Linux did not get spousal approval so it was windows for a few years, but at that time life and work was so busy that there wasn't much time for dealing with computers at home anyway.

I tried FreeBSD 9 in 2013 and really liked zfs, stable base system and up to date packages. My server install of FreeBSD 10 has now been incrementally upgraded up to the latest 13.2 over the last 8 years and has been very hassle free.

I'm now very comfortable and know my away around FreeBSD so I've got no interest in moving back to Linux.
