Finishing up a FreeBSD experiment

Read Original

The article details a developer's multi-month experiment using FreeBSD CURRENT as their primary OS for web development with Node.js, PostgreSQL, React, and SASS. It covers their system setup with ZFS encryption, their weekly upgrade process, and the technical knowledge gained. The author ultimately switched to Arch Linux due to persistent hardware compatibility and performance issues, particularly with WiFi speeds, which were attributed to running a debug-heavy development branch.
