I need help with choosing between either TrueOS or FreeBSD for all purposes especially for my final results of my Lian-Li D8000 build because last I check there was one major concern I had, which was that the FreeBSD documentation said ACPI (Advanced Power Configuration Interface) is not an exact science and I don't know if the TrueOS documentation said the same thing that I converted to pdf to later convert back into a pdf with page numbers considering the wiki doesn't have page numbers as the wiki not having page numbers makes finding what I need to know more difficult for offline or physical real world use. The reason I ask is that if ACPI ins't an exact science according to the FreeBSD documentation from the wiki then does that mean FreeBSD's implantation of ACPI is risky or not guarateed to work or cause problems compared to other Operating System especially TrueOS or basically, which version or fork of UNIX is going to have an implementation of ACPI that is just going to work in terms of TrueOS vs. FreeBSD when I finally get around to implementing it on the Lian-Li D8000 build as my highest end workstation build or partial mainframe use or whatever TrueOS or FreeBSD is good for considering IRIX would be better for graphics workstation use except Silicon Graphics discontinued it and IRIX probably or definitely only runs on proprietary Silicon Graphics workstations that it was last capable of running on.
I say this because I still need to learn all of FreeBSD features and/or now TrueOS's because I still need to buy a seperate or updated liscense to a virtual machine player until I get the Lian-Li D8000 build complete and even after I get the build complete, which will be with VMware fusion and VMware player because I'm having less trouble with getting VMware to be more widely excepted across all major platforms of UNIX, LInux, Mac, and Windows even compared to virtualbox that won't let me mount a usb flash drive just like microsoft's hyper-v. I say problem mounting a usb flash drive to hyber-v because hyper-v won't let you do it by default without a lot of frustrating tinkering that I still never figured out or have been shown how to do currectly yet let alone implement. As for the problem with mounting a usb flash drive with virtual box the problem was with virtual box accepting a usb 3.0 or usb 2.0 flash drive at least on My Dell M6800 Mobile workstation due to it only detecting my usb 2.0 or usb 3.0 ports at usb 1.0 for some reason, so the usb flash drive(s) just wouldn't mount at all for me to get my files off the virtual machine to back them up except through email or google drive regardless of what I tried or was able to implement.
Also, if you understand how frustrating it can be when an Operating System requires ACPI like Windows ME if not Windows 98 as first home or home production or home use operating system to do so in terms of ACPI supported Operating Systems and how if your computer doesn't support ACPI instead of just APM (Advanced Power Management) as well as how apparently when I had this problem with an Iwill VD133 motherboard build for some reason that wasn't saving driver updates or installation for either the motherboard or the Linksys network card or both you would know what I'm talking about. So far the build has a Gigabyte 7PESH3 Intel socket 2011v2 platform motherboard, two Intel 2011v2 2603v2 processor without heatsink at the moment, one PCI express PNY Nvidia K420 Quadro graphics card with 2 GB of GDDR3 or GDDR5 graphic memory, and one Areca ARC-1264-16IL Raid Card, two LG HD-DVD/Blu-Ray either DVD reader/writer combo drive or Writer Drive, One BDXL Writer Drive, and no RAM or system memory at the moment or power supplies at the moment either for the bare minimal parts I was able to supply for the build. I plan too use either two 750 watt Seasonic or 750 watt Corsair Platinum 80 Plus rated power supplies with this build as it is the best I can do with this case and is all I need to supply it with enough internal modular plugs for all component connections without going over the 1500 watt maximum wattage of a standard 15 amp three prong plug outlet.
Yes I did say I wanted this build to use AMD EPYC or was considering AMD EPYC instead of Intel especially Intel Xeon Scalable, but the AMD fans and other forum member gave me too much hassle or ridiculed me so much that I closed the thread considering nobody has tried this before and that only one guy said he would try it just to spit me and they recommending AMD Threadripper and said to sell the case. The forum member just didn't seem to understand my honest mistake in accidentally choosing the Supermicro AMD Opteron based H8QGI motherboard that was SWTX form factor for a case this size that Supermicro hasn't made an SWTX form factor motherboard for Intel base processor, since the socket 603/604 based Xeon's for the Supermicro P4QH6/P4QH8 motherboards and the Supermicro SC850P4 chassis I had prior that influenced this build heavily and is one of the reasons I want to build a Computer like this or this size if not other reasons, so please actually try to help this time and don't ridicule as that is meant for general mayhem anyway.
