Hello every one. I am happy to be here to share my personal thoughts about NomadBSD. I started to using two weeks ago and ever since, it has made my life a lot easier. I was looking for a solid OS, because, I was tired of the one which came installed in my laptop and after I tried out a few other OS, I am so glad, I picked up NomadBSD. It is rock solid and very easy on new comers. Thanks so much once again and hope to see that new version based on FreeBSD 13.1 come out soon. Best wishes to all.

Itās 2023 and you can run BSD off a $10 32GB drive that you could fit 20 of in your pocketā¦ 
On apple macintosh hardwareā¦
With no preconfigurationā¦ 
Including a window manager and an entire desktop suiteā¦ 
That reads and writes proprietary Micro$haft files. 
I could go on, but thatās impressive enough. When I was a kid, you had to compile your own X server if you wanted ANY GRAPHICS AT ALL and building your kernel and world took the better part of a day. NOW GET OFF MY LAWN 
Wait, wait! Donāt you want to stay and chat for a bitā¦it gets so lonely sometimes and Iāve got some hard Werthers candies and we can talk about rc.conf

Hi,

old user of linux so a happy with the zakura.
Bsd is better than linux .
Now Itās time to explore this powerful OS

Hello!
Average Windows user here (since W3.1). No experience with Linux or others O.S.
Recently I got annoyed by the repetitive message in W10 saying my equipment was not enough for W11 so I decided to leave that path.
I suppose Linux would be the expected next step butā¦ I read about nomadBSD in a forum, toasted a USB and it worked right away!!
Iām starting a degree as a software developer and there is so much to learnā¦ (and Iām not a young man BTW) but I AM ready to enjoy the journey.
I hope I can help somehow here.

Hello and welcome to your journey in (the real) UNIX (land)! All BSDs (including FreeBSD and FreeBSD distros like NomadBSD) are great development platforms since you have loads of packages for development purposes, i.e. compilers, package managers for compiled languages like dub (for D), opam (for OCaml) or cargo (for Rust), for JIT-compiled interpreted languages like maven (for Java) or truly interpreted languages like Python, Ruby or Perl(5) for installation at your disposal, just like on Linux. That is especially true for all the popular ones, like the examples I listed here. For lesser known languages like the Pony programming language or other obscure languages you might have to compile their source codes yourself. But for a more seasoned BSD user that aināt an issue since compiling from source was the norm in BSD land and thus today, the process of compiling from source code matured this much that it is as easy as to issue a simple
user@pc ~> make && make clean install
in your console.
My point is the following TLDR.
TLDR: As a soon-to-be software developer you should feel right at home with any BSD and especially the one of your choice. And thatās what truly matters.

Hi,
And read the Readme for install before cause sometimes it can be exotic.
Like this ./configure --disable-silent-rules --enable-ltdl-install --program-prefix=g
Bash is bash every where ed, sed, awk,|grep >< dtrace, so I feel at home. there is pkg and curl or wget even brew .
https://brew.sh/ That download and conpile for your system.
Who can be useful sometimes.Have a nice Day
