Reading, understanding, deciding and acting is brought to a minimum with this special FreeBSD-based operating system, it comes with preinstalled and preconfigured applications, has lots of autodetection, and is generally very well suited for desktop users. https://www.trueos.org/ On the other hand, it's not hard to follow the handbook and install FreeBSD. I have seen school children and "elderly people" get it. I have even seen students being able to install FreeBSD. Your dual-boot environment with Linux makes things a little bit more complicated, but you have all (!) tools and suggestions to solve those problems at hand. And I just asked a friend who uses Linux and FreeBSD on the same system: Once you've configured GRUB from inside Linux, it will boot as intended, it's not hard, it just has to be done. Additionally, being able to install, maintain and use FreeBSD will provide you with a great learning experience and also with several valuable skill sets. You'll become proficient in the use of the computer, gain a better understanding of what's happening, which will in turn enable you to deal with problems much better than common "point & grunt monkeys". You have to decide for yourself if this future is worth your time - and the time of others. _You_ are in charge of your decisions. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
