Just as a precursor to this.. I don't consider freebsd an alternative to Devuan partly because of freedom related issues since they're happy to accept binary only drivers there.
That said there is some simplistic value to freebsd, but they are also using dbus where it's not appropriate. I guess that's why you are compiling your own software there. My answer to that is if they declare war on blobs and stop trying to "be like linux" they'll have a fine OS there. lol @ about the browser taking longer to compile.. I have no doubt you didn't exaggerate this. Thanks, chillfan ‐‐‐‐‐‐‐ Original Message ‐‐‐‐‐‐‐ On 14 March 2018 8:07 PM, J.
