I have run FreeBSD for quite a few years as my main desktop at home. Loved the system.
At one moment the new release started to fail on my hardware combination and the problem persisted over several releases. It was a kernel bug that I reported and that was acknowledged. It still took a long time to be patched. Several releases, if my memory serves me right.
So I started to use Mint Linux (it was Celena at that time). I still look at FreeBSD from time to time - my friend is running it as his main system at work - but it
ain't the same system as 4.8 era releases used to be ... sigh.
Three years ago I got rid of my Windows partition at home and stopped dual-booting, as I was using it less and less over the years and almost never in the last few.
