Its a breath of fresh air! No bloat, no evil, gets the job done - Not to mention some lovely features such as &lt;i&gt;Full&lt;/i&gt; (no unencrypted boot slice) disk encryption via softraid, a completely unprivileged X server (with KMS supported GPUs), and a brilliant set of simple and solid daemons included in the base system.&lt;p&gt;The only time I&amp;#x27;ll switch away is to use linux - The two reasons there being 1) High-end Gaming, 2) Virtualization.</text></comment>

I don&amp;#x27;t feel like any BSD was&amp;#x2F;is intended to be run on laptops, not if you don&amp;#x27;t wanna lose time in extensive configuration to make everything (almost) work.</text></comment>
