    Poll time! If you HAD to switch from Linux to BSD, which one are you choosing?

      FreeBSD unless I’m doing something that’s need a fairly secure system, in which case OpenBSD disconnected from the Internet with my private mirror for security patches.

      TL;DR Maybe FreeBSD?

      Back in the day, I was very interested in (the now extinct) PC-BSD, but it really didn’t like the unusual HDD setup I had (Third IDE channel maybe? The details are fuzzy now.)

      Never got to the stage of trying gaming on it, but I think I might have been planning to dual boot?

      Anyway, it must have been a while ago because that was my previous PC, which I donated to a relative the better part of a decade ago.

      So, given that it was a FreeBSD, I guess that’s what I’d be looking into, but I can’t say I know enough right now.
