FreeBSD is the first thing I try to install on a new laptop. Once I play around for an hour I install Linux for the hardware support and move on.

I can't wait until the experience is good enough that I can stay on it.

What advantages does FreeBSD bring on a laptop versus Linux?
mouse_•1h ago
Anecdotally speaking, in terms of battery life, BSDs (+macOS) > Windows > Linux.

Linux does not play nice with batteries.

myaccountonhn•58m ago
I suspect it has improved. I'm getting 8 hours out of my 5 year old T480s and I recall getting 4 hours or so when I bought it.
rootnod3•44m ago
With which battery? Cause on my T480 with FreeBSD I can ramp it to about 14 hours.
FirmwareBurner•56m ago
Why could that be? Maybe the Linux distro you choose was too bloated and caused battery drain?
rurban•50m ago
Because of no proper battery management, which was only recently merged.

First-class ZFS support is pretty compelling for any usecase.
grahamjperrin•20m ago
Kubuntu 25.04 here, root on OpenZFS thanks to the installer for Ubuntu.

How is OpenZFS second class on Linux?

<https://github.com/openzfs/zfs/> is not perceptibly FreeBSD-first.

philjohn•6m ago
Not OP, but off the top of my head, it's a complete OS, kernel and user land are released as a whole.

I last ran it about two decades ago, so it's been a while.

grahamjperrin•54m ago
Not exactly a new laptop, but a few days ago I spent a similar period (around an hour) toying with FreeBSD on an HP EliteBook 660 16" (G11).

Very rough notes – things were rushed (squeezing as much as possible into the end of a Friday afternoon):

"CURRENT" is scheduled become 15.0 by the end of the year:

* https://www.freebsd.org/releases/15.0R/schedule/

* https://www.freebsd.org/releases/15.0R/

cperciva•16m ago
Technically it's already 15.0, but 15.0-CURRENT is scheduled to branch off 15.0-STABLE, which then branches off 15.0-RELEASE.
LAC-Tech•36m ago
I could do FreeBSD on my laptop I think. I don't play games, and I've been wanting to play around with kqueue.

Is it sort of like OpenBSD? I liked their manpages and their built in server thing (httpd). or is it completely different...

rootnod3•24m ago
Man pages are close enough to OpenBSD. Httpd is there, but renamed to obhttpd. There are some differences between PF and relayd for example, but not too difficult to switch.
nosioptar•12m ago
One big difference is OpenBSD is easier.

For example, I installed FreeBSD on an old laptop and had to fiddle with building Xorg to get a GUI. Same laptop on OpenBSD just worked after running the installer.
