Hahaha,

since I know you from the times you were a Linux user (to be fair this
was the VintageInit time ;) and while I'm still mainly a Linux user, but
for good reasons lurking on what's happening with FreeBSD...

...yesno...

it depends.

IOW, no, no, no, you are mistaken in so many ways.

However, since around a month I'm migrating from old Intel hardware to
latest raptor lake hardware. I seriously doubt that it makes a big
difference, if I would prefer=C2=A0FreeBSD over Linux or vice versa, assumi=
ng
my "main" domain pro audio would allow such a choice.

Some Linux distros try, without any success that is worth mentioning, or
at best it is a step into the wrong direction, do flirt with the
hardware suppliers.

In many cases the chances are a little bit better to get hardware
support from vendors, when using Linux instead of FreeBSD. In my current
situation it doesn't matter, regarding the desktop user issues I
experience.

Seriously related to your argumentation we all should migrate to ... I'm
unable to speak it out ;).

What actually is "standard compliant" for? POSIX? Without doubts for
Linux there's no standard at all. It is not POSIX and the LSB failed
completely. However, apart from server usage, what is any old fashioned
standard still good for, if hardware vendors do everything they can do,
to make desktop computer usage even for experts very hard, if they are
unwilling to use Windows?

IOW every OS has got it niche.

Regards,
Ralf
