Having said that I am heavily interested in FreeBSD as a whole and I'd like to do some lower level work but I was going to try and wait before getting a cheap x86_64 laptop. i've run and developed on both of those stacks using both amd64 and arm64 freebsd and have had zero issues.  the only speed-bump you may hit would be with npm modules that are linux/win/mac only, but things have been getting better on that front. one great thing about BSD is there is lots of overlap between architectures, so many things you'll learn on one cpu architecture will map 1-to-1 to another. -pete -- Pete Wright pete@nomadlogic.org @nomadlogicLA
