+# Andreas Drewke runs BSD
+
+Hi, I am Andreas Drewke (andreasdr) from Berlin/Germany and a happy BSD
+user. My story is not like straight ahead maybe but still very BSD
+related.
+
+My first contact with BSD was in 2004 I guess, since I discovered NetBSD
+at this time, after playing around with Linux and BeOS. It was
+approximatly the 2.0 release. I loved its performance, the clean design
+in many terms, and the userland/cli tools. Also the geekyness. I did
+not know about [OpenBSD] but [FreeBSD]. However I was disgusted by
+FreeBSDs installer this time.
+
+I played around with NetBSD/macppc and ended up using NetBSD/i386 on my
+Lenovo R40 laptop at work. I had a contract which involved software
+development with JAVA mainly and some CSS/HTML and Lotus Notes/Domino :D
+I even had Lotus Notes/Domino via Wine running on this laptop. It was a
+lot of fun! Somewhere I have a evidence screenshot :D I ran this setup
+for 2 years until my NetBSD got broken.
+
+Later on I did a 3 years pause regarding software development.
+
+When coming back I bought a MacBook Pro with MacOS X which is also
+similar to BSD. I was tired of open source operating systems that
+needed too much focus on fixing and setting up things instead of just
+getting work done. I still use a MacBook Pro for my jobs from time to
+time, but came back to BSD in 2017. This time it was FreeBSD.
+
+Because then I got a very fast AMD Ryzen based machine and got my
+feeling back of a real workstation PC that costs a quarter of a MacBook
+Pro and outperform MacOSX significantly, I guess mainly due to better
+hardware. FreeBSD is my current OS of choice. Large portions of my 3D
+engine and our current game I am working on, were developed while using
+FreeBSD. Nobody believes it maybe, but I can tell you that FreeBSD is
+faster than Linux and a lot faster than Windows 10 if it comes to giving
+CPU cycles to its processes or maybe also file system and disc IO.
+Believe me I have every of those OS on my machine on equal drives :DDD
+
+FreeBSD only took like 3 hours to set it up for me and then it just
+works. One time I did manage to destroy it, but this was after 1+ years
+of usage.
+
+Unfortunatly I can not check NetBSD currently or OpenBSD as the first
+lacks 3D hardware acceleration for current graphic cards and the second
+has still issues with AMDGPU driver. However FreeBSD + NVIDIA first and
+later AMDGPU served me real, real great. I am in love. For about 2
+years now. <3 <3 <3
+
+I could probably tell more, but thats it for now.
+
+Oh btw. I would love to know some more BSD people (in Berlin). Anyone
+wants to start a Berlin BSD user group?
