Is there any reason to not use FreeBSD in the year of our Lord 2022?

Cope. FreeBSD and NetBSD have the best hardware support.
so that you can do what, have 10 base 2 ethernet on your computer?
Considering large consumer hardware uses it as a base its certainly not obscure.
slack, teams, insomnia, vscodium, spotify, av and peripheral drivers, hidpi multimonitor support?

Half of the article is rubbish, specifically about sendmail, but FreeBSD has fixed a lot of what he mentions in the past year. Even so, in the installer, you are given the option to disable sendmail and some other security options. Disabling sendmail is a bad idea unless you have a replacement since it gives you daily security reports. If FreeBSD was not secure, it wouldn't be so popular in the server field.
Can I install two versions of the same software and use them side by side on FreeBSD?
>Bhyve
Does GPU forwarding work with it?
Someone said that AMD works but not Nvidia yet, not sure.
Yes.
>as opposed to linux
Cope. Ive seen more old boomers that develop for FreeBSD than any troon (in fact, I dont think ive ever met a troon). This meme is dead.
I have to admit that the % of trannies in the core team is small, but they still exist.

Sorry, i'm sticking with Artix.

Keep making up excuses to not give the white MANs OS an honest try.
Bhyve still doesn't have proper PCIe passthrough.
Once it gets that, and once that deseminates down into MidnightBSD, I will use that as my main OS and then Gentoo and Windows as MidnightBSD apps.

Am I supposed to install i3 or something?

FTFY
Baitposter clearly never used FreeBSD before to know what he's talking about
Disprove any of my points.
>bhyve is slower than kvm
Nope. They have the same performance. Bhyve is just newer and thus needs more work.
>jails are just a limited subset of namespacws / capsicum is just a limited subset of PAM
You don't even know what you're talking about Black person. Jails are superior to LXC or docker or whatever other container format on Linux, especially when it comes down to documentation. These features comply with the FreeBSD way of configuration, so if you know how to do anything else on FreeBSD, you can easily use jails. Capsicum is no exception.
>he unironically thinks PF is worse than nftables
PF is the best firewall on *nix. Period. And sysadmins agree.
>nixos has 80,000 packages
Linux distros have more packages? Who would have guessed.
>linux 2.6 binary compatibility
Wrong. The linuxulator can technically mimick any linux version, right now most gpu drivers are at 5.10.
>a bad WINE and WINE-Proton port
You're trolling, and you've clearly never used it. We have access to every Windows application that Linux does.
>lackluster documentation in the FreeBSD handbook
K E K. Do I even need to say anything here? L and ratio.
>a support forum that tells you to "back"
If they tell you this, its because YOU want FreeBSD to be Linux. FreeBSD is not Linux. Its an operating system unto itself.
>something something NixOS shilling
You can build and lock ports on FreeBSD, therefore you can mix source (ports) and binary packages. There's a reason why the Ports Collection is a hallmark of FreeBSD.
>two methods of playing Steam, both of which probably don't work.
>just doesnt werk
There's a lot of probably's in your post. You just want excuses to not use an OS that works. It works for millions of people across the globe for server and desktop. Cope, seethe, and dilate you gigantic gorilla Black person.
>Jails are superior to LXC or docker or whatever other container format on Linux
Because they can do less and are strictly limited to roughly LXC's featureset. No easy throwaway containers, no simple partial isolation (always need to install an entire additional OS, can't just limit an existing program's view of the process table, or its view of available network interfaces).
>You can build and lock ports on FreeBSD, therefore you can mix source (ports) and binary packages
It still doesn't happen automatically. The binary package repo should simply be a cache. The installation method should be entirely transparent about it. If a binary for the exact package including build configuration is in the repo, download the binary, otherwise build it.
Does NixOS still need a proprietary package (Steam-run) to get FHS compatibility?
buildFHSUserEnv has been around for years.
Sorry, but I'm just never going to hand my computing over to something cuck licensed
