For the adventurest, BSD's or Linux's won't be a problem for them..

But for the rest who are looking to switch over, most of them end up going back to what they were using before..not because of the know-how, but because they would have to 'tinker' with it, and this leaves a bad taste for them..

It has to be something that 'just works' and easy to use, if they are gonna spend half a day tinkering with the OS, they will soon realize it's better to look elsewhere or go back to what use to just work for them..

So to recommend someone to switch over, the OS has to:

1. Just works
2. Easy to use
3. Extendable

If you have 1 and 2, you have a loyal customer :>

For 3, this they can opt in later when they have built the confidence to do so..

So it is not trivial to recommend someone to switch over.

Let's colorized those logs!

A nifty tool called ccze can be used to lighten up those log files you tail all day..

FreeBSD pkg install ccze

Debian apt install ccze

Now just use it with the built-in log viewer..

FreeBSD

$ tail -F /var/log/daemon.log /var/log/auth.log /var/log/messages | ccze -A -o nolookups

Debian

$ journalctl -fen 15 | ccze -A -o nolookups

Happy monitoring :>

Update: I added 2 relays and looking at the logs, it seems to always use the first relay and never the second or round-robin them.

So I guess that answers it :

      Playing around with and it's really quite nice. I could get used to a stacking compositor and the best bit is it can window snap to the edges too. So it's okay for basic tiling like most. I have built labwc myself from their repo though just to get the latest updates.

            Both domains linked the article (tnc.works and merlot.digital) have broken IPv6 at the moment. The Ipv6 points to IPv6 address from 2404:2440::/32

            I am not sure they have deployed it properly.

              Thank you for checking it!

              I wrote a comment under the article, maybe they read it.

                Back on my trusty ThinkPad with external 32" screen running and using which gives me less headaches than I've had today on my desktop running X. I've just done a git pull on the repo to get the latest updates and built it without issue and yes I know there is a package but I'm enjoying tracking progress. I also use and sometimes .
                I will go back to my desktop as I do like OpenBSD and I will not be beat. I just need to clear my head first. ;)

                  Reminds me of when I was excited about trying out BSD distro's back in the days... I had a Dell Inspiron 1501 AMD Turion 64 that ran for a year, for 6 months and for 6 months and back to till the laptop died..

                  I can understand the excitement you are having :>

                    People working on Linux or the BSDs (or illumos based OSes, etc), are you using two monitors? And, if so, what do you use them for?
                    I'm trying to understand if it makes sense to keep two monitors on my desk

                      Decided to switch out my Dell 24" with this Sony Bravia 32".. for tasks, I just run everything on it and just minimize the rest when I'm focusing on a single task..

                      @stefano @claudiom user here.

                      I use two monitors because I work remotely, do a fair amount of web development in addition to IT work, plus video meetings & podcasting. Most days I need have a large terminal (tmux/vim w/a couple windows), a web browser, plus the browser's debugger, and maybe an email client or video conference window if I'm in a meeting/review.

                      All that said, the two displays are 1080p because I generally use older hardware that may not support 4K.

                        On FreeBSD, which interactive shell do you primarily use for your non-root user?

                        If "other", perhaps leave a comment about which shell it is.
