What’s up Lemmy? Oldish scrot, still rocking the same setup.

    I use FreeBSD for our home server and it’s probably the best in my opinion because of the detailed manual. Word of caution for laptops though, WiFi cards can be finicky as to whether they’re supported. Gaming laptops with nvidia/intel dual drivers can also get messy. There’s more WiFi info here:

    And there’s information on supported cards on the os versions release notes

      Interesting, I’ll have to check out if my laptops card is even supported. Thanks for the info

        Of course. I run xrdp for Remote Desktop inside a jail along with quite a few other services and have no intention of going back to Linux for that machine, BUT laptops are a different beast entirely unfortunately.
