> I am a new Linux user and always listen to others saying that FreeBSD is better and faster plus many large and well-known companies use FreeBSD. If that is so... Why is Linux so much more popular? Why does not exist enough (if any) documentation on FreeBSD? How can FreeBSD be so much poor? Personally I consider Linux better for home desktop use, and FreeBSD better for server use. The drivers come out much faster for Linux, with much more support. This would explain why linux is more popular (there are more home users than server farmers). I also consider Windows better than Linux and FreeBSD for home desktop use (donning my flame retardant suit). When I'm at home, I like to watch DVDs. I don't want to dual boot, and I don't want to wait around a year for someone to reverse engineer a DVD decryptor. Driver support is better for Windows than for FreeBSD and Linux combined. That would explain why Windows is way more popular than both of them, and will continue to be. Is FreeBSD better? Yes, for some things. Is Windows? Yes, for other things. Is Linux? Well, maybe, but not for anything I want to do :). To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
