      I zoomed in on their terminal and it says both arch and free BSD? How is it both?

      Edit: I see SSH in the tab title of the terminal, so I’m guessing one of those is a remote server? Which one tho?

        I would guess the FreeBSD is the remote server as it’s usually used as a server os and the archlinux installation has a zen processor that I don’t think would be that useful inside a server

          if by “zen processor” you mean zen kernel then yes you’re correct: iirc (linux) zen kernel is tuned for desktop usage, and also both machines are on ryzen cpu so I don’t think that matters here.

          the desktop in this image is arch linux, and the remote freebsd machine is actually sitting right behind me, it’s also what powers my instance that I’m posting from.

      the desktop in this image is just Arch Linux

      • using E25 for desktop shell, with changed color and slight theme edit to rearrange stuff in title bar a bit
      • kitty for terminal, with the bell sound ripped from terminology because it’s a literal bell sound

      and another machine running FreeBSD:

      • it’s sitting right behind me, hence the ssh to show system info and logo
      • powers my instance which I’m posting this from

        Thank you for the detailed info. I’ve never used anything but Windows and Mac but have recently started looking into Linux.

        I’ve got my hands on a spare machine to play around on, so I’m going to start learning this weekend.

        Co-worker is using Pop_OS, so that is what I’m going to try, with the idea that I can bug him with questions.
