So, I want to try using a BSD as my primary OS again.
I'm currently trying to figure out which to choose.
Basically I'm looking for:
- relatively secure
- ease of working with virtual machines (atm i tend to use QEMU/KVM)
- ability to run some electron chat apps (at least Discord, Slack, and Signal) or alternative clients for them
- a lightweight GUI that can be used in a mostly-keyboard-driven fashion.
Elaborating on those points a bit...
Security: I try to run as few things on my systems as possible, so it's largely just a matter of how secure the base system and default settings are.
Virtual machines: I do a lot of operating system development, so if VMs aren't easy to work with it's gonna get real frustrating.
Electron apps: 🙃 🙃 🙃 fuck electron so much.
Lightweight, keyboard-driven WM/DE: using a mouse is physically painful for me and i need to accommodate that.
