who is running #OpenBSD or #FreeBSD as a daily driver on a personal device (workstation or laptop) and what are your experiences?

if on a laptop, how is suspension / hibernation and battery management?

generally, how is graphics card support?

@mfru Running it right now, typing to you from it right now.

IN GENERAL, it is pretty darn good; uses all of the same drivers as linux. Full upstream support from NVIDIA.

Right NOW, the freebsd drm package is based off of linux 5.10 instead of the latest 6.mumble, so on my newest of laptops (gen12 intels), I am running frame buffer. That said, it is flawless, it works.. I just am missing acceleration and use of the external display adapters.
