Stefano Marinelli<p>One of the common critiques I often read about BSD systems is: "It doesn't run well on my laptop." I get the frustration: my own FreeBSD installation on an old MacBook Pro has been a series of headaches, whereas Fedora installed effortlessly with few remaining issues.</p><p>But should we judge an OS by how it runs on our personal laptop?</p><p>In my experience, BSD systems have caused far fewer issues on my servers compared to other platforms like Linux, despite my greater experience with Linux. On one server, for some reason, Linux would kernel panic hours after booting. FreeBSD runs without a hitch. If my experience were limited to that one server, I might falsely conclude Linux is terrible, which I certainly wouldn't claim.</p><p>I believe there's a right tool for every job. If your hardware is BSD-compatible, the choice is clear. Otherwise, instead of faulting the OS, it’s better to find the best option for your hardware or, if possible, contribute to improving support.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/BSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BSD</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/FreeBSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FreeBSD</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/Linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Linux</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/Fedora" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Fedora</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/OperatingSystems" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OperatingSystems</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/OpenSource" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OpenSource</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/Tech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Tech</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/ServerLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ServerLife</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/Compatibility" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Compatibility</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/Software" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Software</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/TechCommunity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TechCommunity</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/OpenSourceContribution" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OpenSourceContribution</span></a></p>
