  1. #FreeBSD got some well deserved mainstream coverage yesterday when the YouTube channel ExplainingComputers released a video about FreeBSD on the desktop - or to be more accurate: about FreeBSD desktop derivatives: #GhostBSD #NomadBSD #MidnightBSD #HelloSystem

    Lots of responses already but I want to make a suggestion to look at other alternatives too.

    The #BSDs are a decent option too. Maybe slightly more involved depending on your hardware. I'd recommend #GhostBSD (more traditional feel), #helloSystem (more like old Macs) or any Linux distro really.

    Could also try WSL on Windows if you want to try something else.

  7. @limi I bought a Power Mac G4 MDD last week. So I now have a very well working and fast Mac OS X 10.5 machine :)

    #hellosystem is the closest if you want something like that on modern hardware. But #Audion, #AppleWorks, #Transmit, … all the stuff that makes this old Mac OS so great besides the system core is missing today.
