I recommend reading this evident provocation.

I am happy with #labwc.
I have configured the titlebar with double left click to iconify and middle click to close, xfce4-panel as vertical #deskbar with intelligent autohide.
I use "Run or Raise" with single key shortcuts for most used applications.
Here is a link to an old implementation request of mine.

Below is the current state of my #FreeBSD desktop environment
The REAL take-away from this all?
The *BSD community is utterly amazing and without all these people mentioned and without all these services I wouldn't get very far. Best. Crowd. Ever.
Instead of installing and switching straight to Bash on my new OpenBSD install, I'm trying out the default Korn shell for the first time.
I've been gifted a Thinkpad X220 that's been lying dormant a number of years.
Instead of my usual Debian I _was_ going to install Arch, but now I'm thinking of making it a dedicated BSD machine. Going to give OpenBSD a go.
In less than 2 hours, I created and put in production 3 new FreeBSD servers - each one with haproxy, nginx, mariadb, etc. - backups and monitorings included.
I created a set of jails then cloned them. Then customised them.
Those setups will run for *years* with some updates as they're meant to be stable and reliable.
Now, I can have another coffee and relax for some minutes
People who use NetBSD on their desktop, where do they live? What do they eat?

OSDay 2025 - Why Choose to Use the BSDs in 2025
There was limited time, so I couldn't go into much detail and had to keep things more general and structured than usual.

Totally! Live every day like it is your last one. Do things that matter to you, spend quality time with friends and family, enjoy the adventures life has to offer. And naturally: #RUNBSD.
It is better to have tried, failed and learned than not have tried at all. Life is too short to not persue dreams, attempt to make the world a tiny bit better every day we are in it.
La vita è bella
