I tighten both screws. With an impact driver. And a dab of LocTite for good measure.

Bold of you to assume that his party won't pick him again in 2028 just because of a little dementia.

Don't let anybody tell you you're not humpable, because you're bumpable, I hope this doesn't make you feel uncomfortable.

The fake crises he invents all sound like cheesy horror movies:

"convicted illegal alien murderers on the loose"

"cannibal zombie vampires from outer space"

Straight out of the fascist playbook; invent a boogyman that most reasonable people would dislike, promote violence and discrimination against this boogyman, then color all your opponents as boogymen.

I've only recently started using FreeBSD, however my experience has been positive so far. I also get overwhelmed with all the different options and choices in a typical Linux installation. As a new BSD user, it is kind of nice that there's usually only one way of doing something, or one utility for a task. I mainly use Arch Linux with a minimal desktop environment (i3wm), so I'm not real concerned with fancy desktop environments. On FreeBSD I just use vanilla Gnome; it looks and feels the same as on any Linux distribution.

I've never had any compatibility issues with BSD, though I've really only used it on one laptop so far, and it's a rather common, mainstream model (Dell Latitude E7270). It seems to support graphics drivers for all the major brands though. The most striking thing about FreeBSD for me is the range of hardware that is still actively supported, including ancient machines that really have no use except as a retro hobby. I have a 32-bit PowerPC Mac that I will soon be attempting to run FreeBSD on, just for fun.

The FreeBSD documentation is also exceptional; on-par with Arch's documentation. About the only downside I've encountered is that I need some software for work that has no binary package under FreeBSD, and that building from source would be a big undertaking. I would have to figure out how to build several large projects and then actively maintain them on my own, which I'm not willing to do yet. When I get those to work though, I would seriously consider switching from Arch to FreeBSD.
