Huh, that's the first time I've heard of an improvement in FPS switching to Linux. The driver situation isn't really all that hot. What kinda cards do you have, and do you see this advantage in other games as well?

Of course I don't believe all games will have the same outcome. It could be bad reports also. Just interesting...

I really miss crunchbang so I started using crunchbang++ and really enjoy it

Crunchbang still works fine, just point yourself at debian wheezy repos, and you're good to go. I think you'll need to remove tint2 and reinstall using the version in the repos, but it's still very usable. I know some people on the Crunchbang forums have had some success with upgrading to point at debian jessie repos as well.

Another continuation of Crunchbang is the BunsenLabs project, which is intended to turn a debian jessie netinstall into an openbox system with the same visual elements and design philosophy as Crunchbang, with a noted evolution. Once I dig out a spare hard drive, I'll be booting that up on an old laptop and seeing how she flies.

stop windowsing, ie stop gaming :)

dual hard drive boot master race.

well, except for windows stupid pesky UTC clock correction.

i have 3 SSDs, one with Arch one with Windows 64 and one with windows 32 bit.

I only keep 32 bit system to program my tipro, and the 64 for when my friends forces me to play wow :P but usually never have to set my foot in there otherwise. Pretty liberating :)

very wise. to completely eschew windows is unnecessary work; i think of it like a drunken booty call: to be used when the moment calls for it.  :D

Why don't you just run VMs instead of having separate drives for different OSs? The only reason I could see why you would still multi-boot (so old skool, yo) is if you have apps that only run well natively (which is really rare these days even for Windows applications.) I just install Debian as a host OS and then RAID 0 multiple SSDs and then VMware Workstation any other OS I need.

Joking; I always wanted to get into FreeBSD but can't bring myself to maintain another distro.

I actually enjoy when things break because it gives me an excuse to fix things, I'm weird like that. Although I find if you read the Arch news regularly you really won't get caught unawares.

How good is ports in FreeBSD for management of installed software?

Ports is sweet, you'll rarely have issues but I don't manage it like some people. I do a script that deletes my packages & tree, fetch new tree, make install everything fresh when I want new software.

Yo @ttzhou the new-ish "pkg" is similar to apt-get though, if you wanna manage software from the repos.

Ah, gotcha.

Have you ever tried Debian? That's what I'm using right now, and I'm extremely happy with it. If so, how would you compare it to BSD?

Both conservative release cycle very stable, FreeBSD is kinda like Gentoo or Arch though.

ZFS is dope but Linux has that these days, is it 100% native yet I don't know.

as for zfs on linux .. you will experience huge mem spikes .. special if replication kicks in .. id use it on bsd / smartos ..

yet as i sayed i moved loads of the clustered computing work torwards coreos (i operate a small 48 node bare metal cluster) if you need a immutable os .. thats 1 to look out for

as for x11/ ui based linux .. arch is the true winner .. i know some of you guys hate systemd for some bizare reasions .. but .. again the major distributors going to pivot to it as init system anyway .. so better get familiar with it right away ..

as much as i love package management .. it does mess your system up .. try to containerize all the things docker/rocket/nspawn/zones/jails .. pick your flavor .. cgroups / lxc for the win

I never used #!, because I just thought it was a "trendy" distro for some reason. But a minimal install of some stable base distro, with Openbox for a WM, is what I really prefer. The #!++ install was straightforward, and everything on the Thinkpad works like a charm.

After Arch install OpenBSD on IBM Thinkpad and your lifelong virginity is guaranteed.
I just installed #!++ on my Thinkpad, should I rethink my decision?

Wonder if I can replace the kernel with Mach...
I'm so glad that #!++ exists. Even though I never used #!, I was so sad when I heard it had died.
I never used #!, because I just thought it was a "trendy" distro for some reason. But a minimal install of some stable base distro, with Openbox for a WM, is what I really prefer. The #!++ install was straightforward, and everything on the Thinkpad works like a charm.
I might install it on one of my older rigs to test it out.

For most of my programming work, I use Debian with i3, for general computing its Ubuntu with Gnome. I also have couple serves running CentOS because why not?

Pardon my ignorance. What niche did #! fill?  Any others that fill the same niche?

#! Filled the niche of a simple base install. It is quick to install and allows for instant use, unlike things like arch or gentoo, even if those can be more efficient. I think antergos (my current distro) also fills this void and allows you to use the full power of arch.
