I found a old laptop in my garage and I want to try a BSD out for the first time, is FreeBSD a good choice?
Is freeBSD a meme or actually good?

Installing FreeBSD on anything but servers is a meme

All of the BSDistros are memes; FreeBSDistro's the most stable, then OpenBSDistro's dying because of the numerous security loop holes in the OS, then there's NetBSDistro which nobody uses (a.k.a.: DeadBSDistro).
Remember; the D in BSD is for distribution, often shortened to distro, but because BSDfags are so uptight about separating themselves from linuxfags, they claim the D stands for project and that every BSDistro is its own project, like how every Linux distribution is its own project.

BSD? OH YEAH!

Distro just seems like the wrong word to use. In Linux a distro is yet another pile of the same 3rd party software configured differently for the same kernel. Each BSD is its own independent userland with its own kernel. There's no BSD kernel they all use; there's an OpenBSD kernel, a NetBSD kernel, etc.

So why are they called Berkeley's Software DISTRIBUTION, instead of BSP for Berkeley's Software Project? And why even have the word Distribution in its name, if each version is made from scratch using different source code?
Jace Scott
Probably because it was originally a software project maintained and distributed by Berkeley. Keep in mind that this name has been in place since before Linux distros even existed.
