Is there anyone here who uses BSD on their desktop? (lemmy.world)

BSD is for a rock solid server stack. Desktop? Why??

Why not? I mean linux for servers too, but some people use it on desktop

I would consider it for like a kiosk but not a desktop I'd want to use and enjoy. Hardware support is a big one, speed of updates, lack of support release for certain software packages, ect. For example, I use PyCharm for both work and play, and there's no native client in BSD. I haven't even looked at the state of Docker.

Currently, Docker needs VirtualBox installed and configured.

No, gracias.
