Aug 28, 2026, 9:24 AMFew months ago I switched my desktop & laptop from Arch -> Gentoo. Back to non-systemd initsystems, but that wasn't such a big problem after all because OpenRC is so nice.
Servers run Debian though and it really seems like I am going to be experimenting with BSD to replace those soon. Probably FreeBSD as it seems to be smoothest entry (documentation is nice, journaling filesystem, some VPS companies have it available out of the box, etc). NetBSD would be nicer compared to Free/OpenBSD because of LLM policy, but transition to it after having some BSD experience first shouldn't be a hurdle in case future serves disappointments. OTOH @OpenBSDAms is extremely intriguing option as well..
