What are you switching from, and any particular reason to switch away from Linux?
Looks beautiful
Also interested in this. Does someone have info how up to date packages are in FreeBSD compared to linux distros? I imagine its not as bleeding edge as Arch? But also not as dusty as Debian?
They’re very up to date, the ones that are maintained. FreeBSD has quarterly and latest repos, though. If you want the very latest, use latest, if you want more stable, quarterly updates, use quarterly. You can use https://wiki.freebsd.org/Ports/QuarterlyBranch for guidance on how to switch.
This comment made me laugh. One thing I prefer about FreeBSD is not only have updated packages but being able to custom compile them.
Any time I have to use Ubuntu in Docker containers at work I’m ready to kill myself; though Alpine Linux is incredible (can’t speak to Arch).
