I have a server that I've doing major updates with since 8.x. Currently
at 11.1. Guess it's time for 12!
The only thing is I wish I had ZFS on that box. If I ever have to do a
clean install that will happen hehe
Any good news in FreeBSD 12.2?

Seems to be working fine, I don't really know why I was excited,
except that it has clang 10 now as default compiler, but why that is exciting i don't know.
I generally compile everything from ports, rather than use binary
packages, so it's slow going. I've got xfce up and running, compiled
and installed firefox.

Yes.

I did a in-place upgrade of my main workstation at home from Fedora 32
to 33 and it actually worked perfectly and there has been no issues yet.
I'm not as keen on linux as I once was, and even find myself using
windows 10 a lot more than I used to. At one time Linux was trying to be unix, now it seems to have surparsed that and is making up its way as it goes along.

Have you used WSL2 in Win10 It's surprisingly good and I find myself
using that more than booting up a separate VM for Linux. I know they
are getting X apps to render too, I think at that point Win10 will be a good enough linux for most folks. "The year of theLinux Desktop".. lol
Also at the direction MS is moving, I'd not be surprised if they just hoisted Win32 Win64 and WinStore APIs on top of the linux kernel and endedup rebasing everything on top of the linux kernel. Makes sense, Win10 just becomes another userland.
I'm led to believe WSL2 uses NAT rather than bridged networking (ick),
and does
it support Linux apps using sound devices?

Hmm, that would be an interesting evolution. :)

I don't believe so yet, but looks like it's being looked at: https://github.com/microsoft/WSL/issues/5816

Yup, but Win16 was emulated on OS/2 also started by MS, so there is
prior art.

I've been using WSL2 quite a lot and it's fine. Performance is still not top-notch but it's ok. However, when it breaks and you need to
re-install WSL2 and loose _everything_ and have to re-install
_everything_ then the love for WSL2 is not huge...

Cool. Fedora is a pretty good system, though I prefer OpenSUSE when it comes to linux, just really like YaST :)
I didn't have freebsd 12.1 installed, but I think freebsd-update
updates releases just fine too.
Had been playing with adeile linux, it was an interesting distro, used
APK packages (like Alpine) is musl based and uses the s6 init system.

Stuff like wayland, systemd etc, while one could argue both sides of whether or not they are a good thing, they, (and many many other
things) are written with linux only in mind. Using particular linixism
or gnuisms that aren't portable. Open source was once about choice I thought, now it seems the choice is linux, and it's been made for you.
Anyway, you didn't ask for my life story... sorry :P
Don't apologize, it's interesting! I also find that Linux tried to be Unix at som
point but now I think it tries to be like Macos, there are a couple of Linux distributions that really try really hard to emulate the Macos look and feel... and
mostly fail at it.
It reminds me of Windows people coming to Linux and asking how to use Microsft tools
on it. Sorry, I you want to have a Windows experience you should be
running Windows.
You run Linux when you want the Linux experience.

The bulk of my experience with Linux has been at the console level / headles server, and that hasn't changed much in 20 years! Every once in a while I'll have a Linux desktop (e.g. on a Pi) and I'll feel completely lost. Everythin feels sluggish and it's mostly poor user experience. Feels like a painted-on front end, where as MacOS was built from the ground up to make it easier and
Also, working with people who runs Apple products has destroyed any credibility Apple had regarding their claims that their software is much more user friendly and integrated than their competitors. They have done a lot of work regarding the design of the UX, but in the end of the day users come to me with the same problems - and often with moronic problems unique to their platform.
