If the primary architecture on which you run #FreeBSD is not x86 or arm64, it is:

Compared to when I asked on Twitter in 2023 amd64 has grown 15% points, arm64 is about the same, and i386 has all but disappeared.

@emaste@mastodon.social oh, last time it was a 32bit x86

@emaste@mastodon.social Are you asking readers to guess what you use yourself, or asking us what we use?

@emaste@mastodon.social But I'd prefer to run on pretty much anything but that, since neither AMD nor Intel can be trusted with your data any more.

@emaste@mastodon.social I used RPI2 (arm32) ... or officially ARMv7 ... and most things worked ... but a LOT packages missing. When I read about more recent (4/5) RPI models ... a lot LESS is supported ... I really have ZERO reasons to use RPI for anything. RockChip is also an alternative ... but I will probably hit other problems. 1/2

@emaste@mastodon.social 15 years ago I would have needed to vote sparc.

@emaste@mastodon.social voted amd64 but I decided last year that all new hardware will be arm64. Primarily for power reasons but also because I’m done with Intel.

@emaste@mastodon.social I'm still waiting for high-performance RISC-V processors. Stuff that offers performance competitive with x86. When that arrives, at a decent price (not more than x86), I will drop x86 like a hot potato. Hell, even if it is only _almost_ as fast as x86, and costs a little more!

@emaste@mastodon.social got some plans to poke around arm64, though.
