I'm coming from archlinux. I have a couple of questions that i would like to resolve before i do the actual installation. This is not my first install on hardware and i currently have a freebsd vm that i made just to check out the installation process. I will use zfs. My first question is regarding xinit and my window manager of choice- dwm. After the install i will log in as root and setup doas for my normal user. After that i will install xorg, some other stuff and i will git clone dwm, dmenu and st from suckless.org. Then i will run desktop-installer and i will setup the firewall and other stuff but i wont choose a de or a display manager. After that, do I just copy the .xinitrc file into my home dir and replace the last few lines to launch dwm, my compositor and my polkit or is there something else that I need to do? Are there any services that i need to enable? I couldnt get it to work on my openbsd vm. If i add my normal user to wheel, should i also add it to operator, since i only plan on having one user other than root?
My machine has hybrid graphics but i will only be using my nvidia card... Can i install the drivers with pkg or do i need to go to the nvidia website?
I'm a student and I'm learning dotnet development with C#, which was not a problem on linux. Now I was thinking that i could make a linux jail and have dotnet there? I'm new to jails... Could I make an archlinux jail and if i could would it slow down my machine? What kind of resources does a jail have at its disposal in terms of cpu threads, graphics, ram etc.?
For other development i normally use nvim and vscode, so I'll do that on freebsd.
I dont do much gaming but somebody on reddit told me that they got the witcher 3 to work on freebsd with proton. Is that the case?
