Comment Comment by JeremyMorgan I am trying to think of valid reasons why someone would use FreeBSD in this day and age as a desktop. I'm not being snarky, I'm genuinely curious.I used FreeBSD a TON from around 1998-2004 or so. I did it because I could configure an environment to develop in that ran fast on the hardware.At some point the type of development I do (Web) really took off on Linux and OSX so I drifted that way.I'm going to spin up a VM of FreeBSD just to check it out, but why are folks using it as a Desktop these days? parent JeremyMorgan 7 years ago
