Awww someone's gonna lose nerd points and cool cookies because FreeBSD will finally be more user friendly.. Awww. 😭

No. Youre grasping at straws right now. The difference between the opt-in addition to the installer and DIY, is what I already stated. It removes the barrier to entry to having a working desktop. Thats the whole point. This goes beyond DRM, Mesa, and Xorg; ACPI, WiFi, Bluetooth, SD Media, and...

What worries you is that making FreeBSD more accessible to users ruins your false sense of superiority. Select "No" and go on with your life. This opt-in addition to the installer is much bigger than you realize. General developers aren't going to waste their time tinkering with s**t or doing...

Again. You can literally select “No” and go on with your life. This ridiculous thread needs to be closed already.

Yeah.. the degradation of these forums isn't getting better. The line between here and reddit is thinning by the day. Too many misinformed trolls here.

No. Let's throw the away the damn internet. People have no business being on it. Nothings more pure than punch cards and string phones.

It sounds like you wanna go back to Linux. Your lack of understanding proceeds you.

You can literally find cheap quad-core 64-bit devices on eBay for cheap. You're doing yourself a disservice clinging onto old, antiquated hardware. The Project has an obligation to keep up with current hardware/architectures, and certainly won't nerf itself over stubborn users.

Do some research instead of flailing sensational nonsense like this. Clearly you don't understand what's going on.

Hey! Hey! Don’t piss all over the Cheerios ok? Admittedly, this is a valid point. Brand association n all.

Including a full blown graphics stack + DE puts more unnecessary stress on release engineering. This is why Projects like GhostBSD exist. A simple opt-in flag in the installer is a good compromise without touching the base system or interrupting development workflow. The dvd is just there for...

Just imagine driver/application developers not having to worry about wasting time with post-mortem configuring just so they can port their software to FreeBSD. What an idea..

It's literally an opt-in addition to the installer. No one is pointing a gun to your head forcing you to select "Yes". You can still continue on without it to a vanilla installation. You people object to this simple idea (that doesn't even touch the base system) but yet complain about FreeBSDs...

- stable toolkit - stable ABI/API - great community - consistent UX/UI - kde frameworks (arguably the closest thing to Cocoa/Win32/BeOS API) - decent first party utilities for mere mortals - x11 love That said, I’m not a fan of the UI bloat in Plasma, but it’s a sane choice. It’s about time...

Another troll post. I swear this forum has been infiltrated.

Don't forget to search through freshports to confirm if what you need is available on FreeBSD. You can experiment with the Linuxulator too for Linux only binaries.

Whats the logic behind using Docker or NAS in a VM? That sort of defeats the purpose. A simple setup would be running all of your applications in a Jail(s) on top a bunch of ZFS datasets. If you required an app that only runs on Linux, then you can throw in Bhyve. With ZFS + Jails you get an...

I managed to find this whitepaper about it. Look at references 15 and 16. The PDFs have to be downloaded so I can't link them here. Would that be a good starting point?

The million dollar question.
