Greetings,
I have been away from the FreeBSD scene for quite some time now and looking to get back on the desktop scene. My past experience was a home server running 9.2 that shared printers, files, dhcp, dns, and a few other things. The hardware failed and I shelved the project. Right now I have a desktop with a i7 7700 CPU, 64GB ram, nVidia 1080, Windows 10 is currently installed on NVME m.2, and Ubuntu running installed on a SATA SSD. I would like to install another SSD and install the upcoming FreeBSD 12 after it's release along with X11, KDE Plasma 5. I have grub installed on the NVME drive. So my question is what is the best recommended setup I should use? Should I use Grub or something else? UFS or ZFS? Is it possible to boot a bare-metal FreeBSD HDD in some sort of virtual environment as well as normal? Any other tips and tricks?
Thanks!
