The 'pkg' system is quite similar to       what you'd see on Debian. I find updating to new releases to be a lot less       painful than most Linux-based releaes.              If you've got an NVidia card X is a no-brainer. Wine still runs well (I had       Windows Steam and various steam games running on FreeBSD just for the hell of       it).              But there's no systemd, and that's a mark of pride.                     The AHK Gang! Live on Riot.im.
