Since I like FreeBSD so much on my server I installed it on my crappy unstable laptop as well. I only use it for browsing, editing notes and video conferencing when working from home, so I need no complex setup.
From top to bottom:
- Output of
fastfetch, an openneovimand my wallpaper switcher. The bar iseww. - A second workspace with Firefox and my notes.
- My "logout window". Pressing a key combo will show this overlay with the option to close it or pick shutdown/reboot/logout.
Not pictured is fuzzel for running applications.
A few minor things still need to be done but nothing major will change.
I like BSD a lot but on the desktop Linux gives you much more options and a smooth experience. I've read that at BSD conferences BSD developers bring their Mac books with the original Apple OS on it so go figure. Here's some reading material :
Yeah, I've been hearing pretty much that. Didn't know about the Macs in the BSD conference tho. I guess it makes sense since the underlying stuff are really similar.
I'm currently daily-driving various Linux systems, with and without the DE, so I can vouch for that smooth desktop experience!
