All the users want is: 1) social media 2) office 3) Virtual machines running windows XP Linux in a sony desktop with 6GB of memory and intel I3 using the kernel 3.12.x have memory leak, that is after 3 days using the desktop, the system becomes slow, only a POWER OFF restores the original performance... I do not know how, do not have time to dig into the linux kernel. I had to use Linux for almost a year, because of the KMS, now they all have FreeBSD, the cheapper notebooks (lenovo 475, lenovo, 485...) and those with a 2 core AMD cpu at 1.0 ghz 2Gb of memory (sold here in Brazil for U$300) was really slow with the linux kernels, with windows it took almost 6 minutes to boot, and you had only the home edition of windows that is really painfull, besides, the notebookd only lasts 3 months, than the processor oveheats, and your notebook is done (I am talking about those cheap ones). I am not interested in people that have U$2000 to pay for a notebook. Linux have more drivers, but only 2 months ago there was a driver for that realtek wireless + bluetooth chip. that have a problem that you cannot use the bluetooth AND the wireless at the same time... Seems that there is a conspiracy from the industry to NEVER EVER use a chipset for more than 3 months.. so I install the FreeBSD on those cheap notebooks with a TPlink WN725N working like a charm, by the time that realtek driver adapter becomes ready, all you have to do is to download the new freeBSD kernel and hit only a command... this will bring FreBSD from my OWN repository, that have about 1200 packages for AMD64. than the system will reboot with the wireless inside the notebook working again. thanks to FreeBSD wlan0 scheme of wireless interface. kind of a windows update and reboot.
