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 ;)


Ok, whoa.

S3 suspend and resume on #FreeBSD on this #Thinkpad X260 is only five seconds (each)!!!!

That's better than some of my linux boxen!! XD



Looking for a new laptop that runs Linux out of the box? Get a ThinkPad!

Lenovo has been offering ThinkPads with Fedora and @ubuntu preinstalled for a few years now. The more people who shop for these devices, the more attention they can give to this business!

Here's an article of someone discovering Lenovo's Linux program: news.itsfoss.com/lenovo-cuts-w…
