Some may use this or that operating system. While majority of people use one computer, I am administering several. Family members and staff members use computers setup by myself. It is network and computer administration in small environment. Me I am also using Emacs on Android, under Termux. Then Emacs on LineageOS under Termux. Then Emacs on Replicant, under Termux. Those are 3 operating systems. Then I use DragonFlyBSD on laptop lacking battery, Parabola GNU/Linux-libre, Hyperbola GNU/Linux-libre on some laptops and Haiku sometimes. I would like to install FreeBSD on some notebooks to see how it works long term. What I like is system consistency, like what Debian has, that one can upgrade the system over and over again without reboot, and all things work. Uptime like 536 days or 966 days is what I have now on some computers with Debian. -- Jean Take action in Free Software Foundation campaigns: https://www.fsf.org/campaigns In support of Richard M.
