Mint is running, and I'm curious about how TrueOS stacks up... Since I'm not doing anything extreme like editing, it should be similar to a regular user experience.

freeBSD offers minimal support compared to Linux, and it doesn’t provide benefits for most users beyond basic needs. For specialized storage setups, there are no significant advantages.

For everyday computer use, Mint works well. FreeBSD suits more specialized SAN environments. You've noticed this with different versions on NetApp systems, and its command style isn't always intuitive for NetApp hardware.

Linux Mint has been excellent for us over the years. My wife handles professional photo editing and prefers not to update, so she’s happy with its solid performance. I used it for many years but changed my habits, always updating and exploring additional software beyond the main packages. It performed well too. Last year I moved to MX-16, then switched to a Debian-based distro. Installation was straightforward alongside other distributions. It came pre-installed, which made things easier... Download the ISO, copy it to a USB drive, run it live, then install. By the way, the Mintstick from Linux Mint helps me with USB formatting and image creation—it’s become quite useful for my other systems.

TrueOS offers greater stability, a richer history, and professional backing. However, it stands out as the least dependable among BSDs. For those seeking a "Ubuntu-style BSD," GhostBSD could be worth considering—it also draws from FreeBSD.
