"FreeBSD is only for servers" needs to be permanently retired.
Running FreeBSD 15.1 on the trusty ThinkPad T480, and the desktop experience is outright sublime:
- Idle power draw: hovering at an absurd ~2.0W package power
- Wi-Fi: 802.11ax rock-solid
- Hardware video acceleration: fully working in both Firefox and Chrome
- Webcam and audio: working flawlessly
- Productivity: Xfce 4.20 on X11 flying along on ZFS
- Yes, even Factorio runs like a dream
Between the battery efficiency, sane base system, and native ZFS, this machine feels faster and quieter than it has in years.
2026 really is the year of the BSD desktop.
