I’ve been thinking about something. I just tried FreeBSD 15.0-RC4 again on my mini PC (currently running openSUSE Tumbleweed) and it works well, even with Wayland.
The only thing I’m missing is suspend.
But I also have my Qotom, which currently serves as my home server, with 16 gigabytes of RAM. What if I installed FreeBSD on my mini PC and moved the Qotom’s workload into a VM, passing the disks directly through to the VM?
I’d still have 48 gigabytes of RAM for my workstation, which is more than enough, and I’d be using FreeBSD.
I’m really tempted to at least give it a try...
