Edit: And in the end, it’s back to good old Fedora with Xfce. I guess I’m an old man, fixed in my ways. Haiku was interesting, but not nearly as stable as needed. OpenSuSE with Xfce was rough, it requires more polish....

I really love to test FreeBSD. But I have been advised not to do this. Because #FreeBSD hardware support is not as good as #Linux.
Please tel us more about your experience with FreeBSD.
@vahid@agrammatic For me hardware support on my Dell Latitude has been (almost) plug and play. It probably depends on (the #FOSS ness of) your hardware. But I wouldn't recommend it if you don't like fixing things. Funny story though, the video driver for my #nvidia quadro atm (470) is not supported by #archLinux where #freebsd has a prebuilt package ready to go.
It should be between 3.8 to 3.11. Anything else is just a disaster waiting to happen. There is no need to use an older version as Python no longer gets security updates.
You can press up-arrow or down-arrow to walk through a list of previous commands in most modern shells like bash, tcsh, fish, zsh and others in #Linux / #FreeBSD / #macOS/ #Unix. Another option is to hit CTRL+R & type the command to recall. See:
help history
man bash
man fish
man zsh
Suggest me a libre OS to try using on my new desktop PC
