I have used Freebsd for sometime on my desktop back in 2021. For the most part I had a good experience except that I couldn't figure out how to connect earphones/mic on the ports on my PC case. I had to plug it directly to my motherboard for Freebsd to detect them. I used an Nvidia card at that time and it also worked very nicely although it had much older drivers than Linux.
I ended up switching back to linux because of 2 reasons -
I have a few BTRFS drives that I use regularly and couldn't afford to buy some new ones for Freebsd at that time.
I couldn't play games using steam proton. I don't know the situation these days, but I'll surely check it out If it has improved since then.
I want to thank you so much for suggesting this. I'm almost caught up with all the episodes of the podcast and I'm hooked. I just wish I had the time to follow up each episode with supplementary reading.
I'm in India. Everyone I talk to just recommend either working as a developer or working abroad.
They do have a reason for saying this though. The average electrician , plumber and carpenter that they know are all make enough to survive but not enough to lead a lavish lifestyle. People who work in waste management and transport usually make even less than electricians and plumbers.
Maybe things are changing these days, I'll have to talk to the right people to get a better idea..
Bruh I just got the OnePlus 12... Welp..
Pixel pricing is horrendous in my region anyway.
