I keep having to remind myself that this #FreeBSD laptop isn't running Linux.
Other than a few very minor issues, it JUST WORKS. After all of the work (it wasn't even hard, really) of setting it up and customizing a couple of my scripts to run on FreeBSD, the OS does its most important job: disappearing.
This is pretty cool. Give yourselves a pat on the back, #FreeBSD devs. Things are really getting better.
Disclaimer: Just because I haven't encountered any deal-breakers doesn't mean that you won't. Always do your due diligence and try it out on a non-critical machine, first. Also, using an old #Thinkpad (instead of a brand new whatever) is usually the best advice for stuff like this ;)

in reply to R.L. Dane šµ • • •mine has some sleep/wake issues especially if I remove it from the USB or Thunderbolt dock before waking. Either outright freezing or peripherals it can't let go of or is never detected again until reboot. It also always seems to fail to wake from sleep properly with Wayland, but not X11 where it's usually fine
Other than those caveats which are mostly understandable (just needs better hardware re-scanning upon wake) it's very usable and most people won't do what I do, so...
