Is there some "just werks" of this?

What's the support for:

- encryption

- file-systems

- drivers

- software

Too lazy to do my own research, but honestly you know more than I could google up in a year.

Also general BSD Awareness thread.

Fucking outdated ports never work!

I use OpenBSD, so I'm only going to be able to give answers for that particular BSD.

>File-systems

OpenBSD uses FFS. Support for other filesystems is a bit flaky IMO, it supports ext2 from linux but not ext4. Fat32 is of course supported.

>Drivers

Less than linux, but definitely usable. My laptop's wifi and hardware acceleration just werked.

>Software

A moderate amount of software is provided in the repositories. Less than gentoo, but more than Alpine.

writing custom pksrc's from debs is life changing, I'm doing it for netbsd because I *need* zfs

>pkgsrc

What is that like? Does it build packages from source like portage? I hear that portage is based on it.

Portage is pkgsrc but not trash.

OpenBSD is pretty good, but it's 802.11ac support or the highway.
