The reality of FreeBSD and Steam gaming (for now)

I thought I'd take time out to play a game on FreeBSD while lecturing you about not playing games on FreeBSD. /s

Actually, FreeBSD is great for retro gaming and a few others.

But the question keeps getting asked: "How well does Steam work on FreeBSD?"

Answer: it doesn't. Not yet anyway. (SteamOnBSD [https://github.com/SteamOnFreeBSD/SteamOnFreeBSD] is a project that looked promising but runs a very unsafe script with root privileges so I wouldn't advise it).

My advice is to use the bsd's for what they're good for - everything else - and use a dedicated gaming machine if it's important to you.
