    FreeBSD Foundation Flounders on 15 with Rust, pkgbase, and KDE

    I do not want to have everything printed in rainbow all the time :) Last time I used Fluxbox was 2008 I believe ...

    I believe it was PekWM - x11-wm/pekwm - still available here ... or You think about something else?

    I also used Fluxbox in the past - also liked it. As for terminal - I understand - I have a buddy at work that also hates colors in terminal :)

    Leaving FreeBSD with broken heart

    That is how security is built - same with firewalls - you first block everything - and then only allows what is meant to be allowed. Maybe that will help :) https://chatgpt.com/canvas/shared/689fa78dfbf08191a9da6703e2bd7218

    Leaving FreeBSD with broken heart

    No worries, we are not going anywhere :) I know people that run FreeBSD on their desktop/laptop and professionally manage Linux/UNIX/AIX services - so you are not the only one 'forced' to do other things. You can use CUDA with Linux Compat on FreeBSD if needed: -...

    Hyprland 0.50.1 fails to start on FreeBSD 14.3 with NVIDIA Quadro P2200 (nvidia-drm loaded)

    I do not have other ideas to help You. I remember when I wanted to check how Nvidia card works on ThinkPad W520 it was real PITA and I got back to BIOS to disable it and never enable again.

    The /rescue is just one of the 'non protected' (non vital) packages called FreeBSD-rescue: # pkg info -l FreeBSD-rescue | (head; echo; tail) FreeBSD-rescue-14.1p6: /rescue/[ /rescue/bectl /rescue/bsdlabel /rescue/bunzip2 /rescue/bzcat...

    I would prefer XFCE or MATE instead of KDE - but that is me. There was even recent pools what FreeBSD users want - and yes - by general they want XFCE over KDE ... and a WM over any DE: - https://reddit.com/r/freebsd_desktop/comments/1m7mnpv/xfce_and_kde_retain_lead_among_freebsd_desktop/...

    Thanks. If you boot 15-CURRENT installer - it even asks you now if you want 'classic' install or PKGBASE install. As for the pkgbasify(8) tool - right now it needs to be fetched directly from its GitHub page. ... and PKGBASE is not limited to 15.x - you can also convert FreeBSD 14.x systems...
