FreeBSD does not run as many apps, and especially does not run the most recent versions.
FreeBSD has no dropbox client. I don't think FreeBSD with work with LibreOffice 5.x - you have to go back to LibreOffice 4.x.
I am not sure about the future of BSDs. I think the BSDs are dependant on apps that were built for Linux. The BSDs use a Linux compatibility layer. So if Linux apps start requiring systemd (a real possibility IMO) the the situation for desktop apps might get even worse.

As a server there is nothing wrong with FreeBSD.
As a desktop, I dunno.

I find it slower than FreeBSD. It does not do anything you cannot do with FreeBSD. Also, I prefer the MATE desktop.
I suppose setting up FreeBSD desktop takes more work. But real UNIX people should not be afraid of that.
Lots to love about FreeBSD. Makes a great server.
But I doubt it has a dropbox client, and I doubt it will work with LibreOffice 5.x.
Seems like they should have that by now.
Tech employers want to offshore as many jobs as they can. And the jobs that cannot be offshored will be given to visa workers.
If you can get a top secret clearance, you will probably be alright.
I am using gentoo now, but devuan is looking like it might be a decent distro.
Everybody knows that the massive increase in population, in the last century, is causing serious environmental issues.
But whenever a population is not growing as fast as it once was, it is considered a crises.
XP may not be getting updates, but it is not getting targeted either.
I am seeing most attacks targetting Windows 7.x - 10.x.
Back up your data, if XP is hit with malware, scrub your system and reinstall.
Windows systems newer than XP are not especially safe either.
In the UK, you can leave to join ISIS, then come back to the country. At least that is my understanding.
Japan and Poland do not have all these terror attacks. I wonder if anybody will ever figure out why?
Non-sense.
Muslim commit terror attacks on other Muslims even more than they do non-Muslims.
Hint: it has just the tiniest bit to do with Islam's perfect example. You know, a man who was himself a murderer, a rapist, a slave owner and trader.
Follow their lead?
As if we need another reason.
And distortion of facts?
My understanding is: the same pesticides (neonics) are used in Australia, but bees in Australia are fine.
Maybe it's pesticides and the parasites together that are proving too much for the bees?
Isn't Monsanto now owned by Bayer?
Bees could survive one, or the other, but not both?
Although feminists will tell you otherwise.

But firefox will not work without pulseaudio.
I think you can only run old versions of chrome on FreeBSD.
I know you can only run old version of LibreOffice on FreeBSD.

I don't think LaunchD is about to be used in FreeBSD.
> Upstart never got this amount of hate
Upstart is just an init system. SystemD radically changes everything about Linux.
Radical changes are justified by radical improvements.
Systemd is certainly not a radical improvement.
So how is systemd justified?
MSM wants to blame Trump for a cloudy day.
They have been wanting to register drones for a few years now.
For decades the blame-America-first leftists were Russia apologists. Now if you get a flat tire it's blamed on Russian hackers.
IMO: lots of countries are all social media, lots of corporations as well.
I don't think Linux is POSIX compliant since systemd.
Everything that is great about systemd, is even better in ms-windows.
Want an OS that is controlled by a single for-profit corporation? A corporation that cares more about it's shareholders, than end users.
Want everything hidden from the users? Everything in binary.
Want an OS that has all kinds of mystery crap going on in the background?
Want a less stable OS, and mysterious changes forced on you all the time?
Want an OS designed by people who hate the UNIX philosophy, and have deep contempt for UNIX grey beards?
MS-Windows has better drivers, better graphics, way more apps - especially games. MS-Windows apps are way more standard.
Actually he said that systemd may be inevitable for Slackware.
