alt Hacker NewsThese rose tinted glasses are pretty strong. I found nothing but pain trying to run the BSDs on recent computers/setups.
There is 'different' as in 'alternative/edgy', and then there is 'different' as in 'won't implement/yagni' which becomes highly subjective.

Never had any issues but I've only ever tried to run it on supermicro boards

I’ve been using it in VMs just fine. Used it on my desktop just fine for a year. Used it on laptops just fine.
You might have just hit a bad hardware setup that’s outside the scope of support. It happens.

I've been running it on most of my personal laptops since around version 10. It's a lot like how Linux felt in the late 90s. Depends on your hardware and what you want to do. But it's solid.
If you could handle Linux in the late 90s you can handle it.
