Re: Why don't you eat your own dog food?

When we start meeting in person again, maybe you will have the
opportunity to attend a conference like BSDCan.  If so, you will see
lots of FreeBSD developers presenting with FreeBSD laptops.  Like Dave,
I also gave a presentation at a past BSDCan using a laptop running
FreeBSD.

For video conferencing, there are challenges with closed
applications/sites like Google Meet, MS Teams, and Zoom.  They do often
work well from a FreeBSD system, but that's not always the case.  I have
had the best experiences with meet.jit.si.

A positive development related to this discussion is that the Foundation
has identified the desktop/laptop experience as one the areas to be
targeted for improvement [1].  Some of the Foundation developers have
received frame.work laptops and are working to get FreeBSD running well
on those systems.  We are also open to good proposals for funded work to
improve the FreeBSD laptop/desktop experience.

I can't speak for everyone, but I would prefer to be able to use my
FreeBSD laptop for everything, but for some use cases, it's a work in
progress.
