Yup, I used to use FreeBSD and it worked okay. When I used it, the Nvidia drivers were better than AMD, but I don’t know if the FOSS AMD drivers have been ported to FreeBSD.
You can theoretically run Linux programs (such as Steam) on the BSDs. And I am pretty sure that there are some open source games on BSD too. Only tried it a few times tho.
Edit: and there’s a WINE version for FreeBSD aswell.
I want to know who the fuck is gaming on FreeBSD and how.
Who’s saying anything about gaming in that image?
Aha, you’re right!
In my defense, i posted at midnight, without my glasses =P
The comments on this article might lead to good info.

I expect a lot is possible if Wine and good Vulkan drivers are available.
This guy shows how to get Steam up and running:

FreeBSD Nvidia drivers have a similar set of features compared to Linux drivers, there is also a Linux compat layer on FreeBSD.
