FreeBSD 8.4 is now available

Reference: Every time I've tried Linux on a laptop, Suspend, Resume, or Both has been broken in whatever $FLAVOR_OF_THE_MONTH distro/package/kernel the community insists is the next big thing.

The BSDs tend to implement these things later but far more reliably.

Never been broken on Arch, Fedora, Debian... or any of the upstream distributions I've used, when I've used them.

Your personal exacerbation of whatever imaginary and nonspecific issues you're talking about is not relevant to a conversation about people other than you.

The world doesn't need your BSD FUD. "The BSDs" is also absolutely silly as ideas go, there are BSDs which have never supported suspend/resume.

What the world doesn't need is this continuing holy war from a particularly small but sadly vocal minority of the Linux community. You really don't help the cause. I find it particularly irononic of you to accuse someone of spreading "BSD FUD" on a thread about FreeBSD. I'll 'cite' you an example of real 'FUD'; https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5839565

I had to install Debian on a laptop last week actually, suspend/resume absolutely did not work on it...

You have just doomed yourself to the "I have no idea what I'm talking about" club.
