    I'm not "invested" in any appreciable sense, but I use them on laptops daily, and here's my overall impression as a basic end user:

    #FreeBSD: More linuxy, lots of bells and whistles, amazing pdf/html handbook
    #OpenBSD: More pared down, very choosy about what gets included in base (and particularly the kernel), much easier to just install and have a working laptop vs. having to configure X11/Wayland manually, great man pages

    In FreeBSD's defense, they're adding a simple KDE install option to the installer system, so you'll have something of a ready-to-go system, if KDE is what you want. I'm not sure if there will be a simpler option, like openbox or whatever.

    OpenBSD seems to have a little better hardware support, but FreeBSD has been making great strides in this area, and if you have a recent model Thinkpad or Framework, you might have a better time on FreeBSD.

    My FreeBSD and OpenBSD laptops are 10 and 16 years old, respectively. 😅

    They're both great OSes, and fun to learn on. It's a real #Yoda "You must unlearn what you have learned" moment when you realize that everything you've done for the past quarter century of writing shell scripts and whatnot was very much geared to the GNU and Linux world, and the rest of the world doesn't necessarily operate that way.

    Of course, most Linux users don't care, but I'm partial to the idea of true portability, the Unix way. ;)

    Yoda here is not feeling very green as he is used to feeling. To much sun exposure I fear. His head is more Blue in color than it should be.
    Does anyone have tips or know of anywhere in Western Canada that can do a quality airbrush or something?
    My partner is quite upset. Yoda has been with her longer than I have.

  10. 🐧💻 Ah, behold! A miraculous shell script that supposedly transforms your humble #Linux box into an all-powerful #LLM agent, streaming and mentoring like a tech-savvy #Yoda. Because who needs modern conveniences like Node or npm when you can #curl your way to enlightenment? 🌀 Just make sure you're running it on your grandma's 1995 Alpine container, because why not? 🤦‍♂️
