A brief look at FreeBSD
Recently I’ve been playing around with FreeBSD in a virtual machine. The reason for this is that (if all goes well) some time in December my new Framework laptop will arrive, replacing my current X1 Carbon that is starting to show signs of old age (e.g. a keyboard where certain keys don’t always work). Framework in turn has a strong focus on Linux compatibility, and FreeBSD compatibility to a certain degree. The FreeBSD foundation in turn is sponsoring work on improving the laptop experience of FreeBSD, with a focus on Framework laptops in particular.In other words, if I ever wanted to run FreeBSD on a laptop, a Framework laptop would probably be the best option, and using a new laptop means I can just wipe the installation and replace it with Fedora if FreeBSD turns out to not be worth…
