    After trying NetBSD last week and failing miserably at the installation hurdle, I tried GhostBSD yesterday. Installation is a lot easier than other BSD.

    GhostBSD runs well on a core I3 , and if I hadn't previously been using LMDE Mint I would have stayed with it. However, Bluetooth is a big no-way, so had to use a deskhog of a keyboard. That and a few other little things like app installation woes, sent me scuttling back to Mint LMDE.

    Maybe when I am younger, I will ...

    @RichRARobi nice.

    I am on Mint, myself, as daily. However, i do exactly zero things bluetooth. It's garbage connection, always, and it's shit sound, because single channel MCAP-ed.

    Wired is bestest, always, zero exceptions.

    @RichRARobi @faraiwe NetBSD seems really a lot picky about the installation support. I tried to install myself on a partition on my main pc, but everytime the installation program broken for a corrupted image. However the downloaded one is correct.
    Seems the cause I used cheap USB stick, but no other OS gives me problems with their installation images on the same keys.

    @faraiwe @RichRARobi Seems also that FreeBSD has a better linux compatibility layer. It is good that I make run Linux port games on it, and run pretty well. :P

    NetBSD has one, but I didn't tested yet the performance and issues.
