Always wanted to give FreeBSD a try but never got around to it. Unfortunately, I’m not able to on the current system as System 76 doesn’t provide driver packages for BSD. Most of the hardware would work fine with the drivers in the repo but they’ve got a custom fan controller that would require some special drivers. Makes, sense, though as they test things on their own Linux distro PopOS and consist of a small team so asking them to also test on BSD and do the modifications would be asking a lot when most of their user base uses Linux in one form or another. They also have packages for Windows, too.

Arch was nice for its customization but the maintainers broke X and were ugly when I pointed it out to them so I switched to OpenSUSE at the time. OpenSUSE is quite nice and zypper is a wonderful package manager 🙂

Yep! Own it, actually. 🙂 It’s a really good game and well optimized. Amazingly, it’s still getting bug fixes and additional features every now and then, which is a rarity for games like this. It also got modding tools at the beginning of the year.
