WOW - the federal government DOESN"T HAVE to DO EVERYTHING. The state's are using THEIR power. Liberal snowflakes, untwist your panties, all is well.

I have been frustrated by the 147 different distro's to pick from. Even within Mint there are various paths to go. Which one to pick? I gave up to be honest after trying about 7 different ones. I keep Kali on a VM for work/testing, but not a daily driver.

I have been using TrueOS, from trueos.org, recently and have to say it is a big step up. It is nice and clean, the install went smooth, and it has just worked with little to no touching in a VM and on stand alone hardware. In my case a MacBook Pro 2015. I give it two thumbs up. BSD is a well established OS and history. I would give it a try most definitely!!
