I've always found it cute that the #FSFE kind of leverages valentines day, as "I ❤️ Free Software" day.

This year, I kind of want to talk about #FreeBSD, because its powering my personal desktop and laptop these days.

I've run it before as my daily driver, and I've always been impressed by the stability of the base system; alongside ports, which gives you the freedom of choosing between quarterly or bleeding edges packages.

I went back to linux last time, mostly due to a frustration over a lack of electron based apps being unavailable in FreeBSD & issues with Widevine.

Im happy to report, BOTH of these things have really become solved problems on FreeBSD.

There is some stuff which could bear improvement. BUT I've been really heartened and excited too to see the #FreeBSD foundation really tackling things via the Laptop/Desktop Working group.

AND im suspecting, Ill still be daily driving FreeBSD next I ❤️ Free Software Day. #ILoveFS #FLOSS #ILoveFSDay
