Seven years of running FreeBSD on ThinkPads alongside Linux — lessons I'd give my younger self

<reddit.com/r/freebsd/comments/>

"I daily-drive Linux at work and FreeBSD on my personal ThinkPads (T480 & P52 currently). Both laptops and both operating systems, every day. I'm the kind of person who reads freebsd-update output and Phoronix benchmarks in the same hour.
