[–] pedro@lemm.ee 3 points 3 years ago* (1 child) Damn I'm contemplating going to FreeBSD. What made you go the other way? What do you miss from FreeBSD? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] vettnerk@lemmy.ml [S] 4 points 3 years ago (1 child) I miss /usr/ports. I could spend days just exploring its contents. I miss an /etc structure that wasn't a complete mess. I miss UFS and its soft updates. I miss the stability of fBSD 3 and 4. I miss the ease of which you tweaked, compiled, and installed a new kernel. And just because of the hilarious legacy that was obsolete 20 years beforw I started with it, I miss the concept of font-servers. The main reason for my migration was the bigger userbase of linux where it was easier to find people who has resolved whatever issue I was having, plus nvidia drivers. Plus I've only needed to use fBSD once professionally. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] pedro@lemm.ee 1 point 3 years ago (1 child) From your experience I don't see red flags for me so I'll probably try for my next reinstall.
