Struggling to set up wireless, gui login, gnome
For simplicity: FreshPorts is our friend.
- A few basic question about open bsd from a long time linux user who do not want to ask basic questions every 5 minutes. So I put them in one post.

FreeBSD as a daily driver
You might want to check Freshports for more details on available software.
-
ManjarNo please
I agree. The lack of hardware support is a long-standing pain of all BSD systems. It is probably easier for me to use Free/OpenBSD as a desktop system because I do not follow software "fashions". I have enough for my needs. Although if you explore [freshports](www.freshports.org), you may suddenly find that there are programs for every task.

Random hang, is that common ?

Im a longtime linux user and BSD noob, I have few questions in order to fill some basic gaps
I'd look at freshports to search for software that's available on FreeBSD. Most things should probably work just fine.
-
Which ISO should I choose? (BSD newbie)
Probably in between but you can move towards either side. Check out freshports to search for ports (what packages are built from).

Freebsd for the very first time
Also check out https://www.freshports.org/ for all the software packages available.

An AppJail Makejail to run Caldera in a Jail
I see one can install a custom LibreWolf. May I submit a request for Brave? At the moment many are using a script that depends on /compat/ubuntu, so, it would not be possible to install AppJail (which uses /compat/linux) at the same time, as one can't run both Ubuntu and CentOS environments at the same time?

How to watch Netflix and more on FreeBSD
Clone this repo and install the browser of your choice from options https://github.com/mrclksr/linux-browser-installer. It uses compat Ubuntu to install browser with drm support

Migrate from Linux to FreeBSD
You can also install and use Google Chrome on FreeBSD pretty easy with this:
- https://github.com/mrclksr/linux-browser-installer
It will just use FreeBSD Linux Binary Compatibility layer (not emulation). FreeBSD supports most Linux syscalls with it so it can run unmodified Linux binaries 'just like that'.

Widevine won't work natively, so no Netflix. However, I've had good results with linux-browser-installer . It installs the browser in a Linux chroot I believe.

Why Do I Keep Coming Back to BSD?
On FreeBSD you can give this a try. It gives you a Linux browser with Widevine support. I have used Brave for some udemy courses in the past that required it and it worked well.
What are some alternatives?
