I want to know who the fuck is gaming on FreeBSD and how.
You can theoretically run Linux programs (such as Steam) on the BSDs. And I am pretty sure that there are some open source games on BSD too. Only tried it a few times tho.
Edit: and there's a WINE version for FreeBSD aswell.
I tried it once a decade ago and uh, no luck whatsoever lol.
At least when I tried, it was easier to get Windows Steam to work than Linux Steam. Maybe the Linuxulator has improved since then.
