And you should thoroughly understand FreeBSD before suggesting the project adopts useless/broken Linux cruft. Because it’s apparent you don’t.

Aren’t AMDs/Intels ISA docs open to the public? Whats to stop us from reimplementing their drivers or porting drivers over to our own driver model? I think most of our network drivers are in house. Surely we can do the same with GPUs? My understanding is limited, of course, but im optimistic.

At some point we’ll have to develop our own improved driver model. Depending on Linux for this stuff won’t be viable or economical for FreeBSD long term. Also, DRM sucks and its terribly outdated.

Going off of Orange Pi 5 pricing; I doubt it. Plus I'd have a better chance of getting FreeBSD running on this than getting around Apples ironclad boot chain. M1 Mac Mini's are getting dirt cheap though.

New Orange Pi 6 Plus was just announced. Doubt there's FreeBSD support for CIX chips currently, but this thing looks really good.

Intel/AMD/IBM/ARM/etc have gone through generations of microarchitecture enhancements throughout the last 20 years. Don't be dense. Just look at all of the target architecture platforms that's been dropped out of support tiers from the FreeBSD Project. This isn't hard to understand. It's not a...

Nah. The troll in me would tell you to delete your account and go back to Linux - since you're displaying characteristics of that community. But that wouldn't be a constructive thing to do, would it? Re-read my last few posts (and other similar posts) in this thread a few months from now and...

You prove my point. The mods should be less lenient with people like you. Carry on.

It's your responsibility to conduct yourself in a mature and respectful manner; especially in a place like the FreeBSD Forums. There's a great amount of prestige and influence attached to the name; and nonsense such as your ridiculous thread name doesn't add credence to it. You could've written...

Because obnoxious tantrums from the likes of you and that Retro person have no validity, nor are they of any real concern with regards to the quality or engineering of the base system. When volunteers spend their time and energy putting work into an open source project; then the likes of you...

Don't you just love the hyperbolic trolling? I don't blame the committers for not visiting these forums much.

https://www.lenovo.com/us/en/p/desktops/ideacentre/ideacentre-mini-series/lenovo-ideacentre-mini-x-gen-10-snapdragon/91b60000ut It looks like Lenovo has what appears be a non-Apple equivalent of ARM desktops running Snapdragon processors. Any Ideas if this will run FreeBSD? This could be a...

Boot from any bootable Windows installation medium; the installer will allow you to wipe and reformat an NTFS based partition over any existing partitions on the disk. Then just complete the remaining steps in the installer. As a reminder, you must remove the existing partition first; then...

Had SUN spun off their SPARC division into a separate company and added support for AMD64 too; they'd probably still be here. As good as SPARC was at the time (or still is?); the Linux/AMD64 alternative was much cheaper and more accessible. It practically dwarfed the architecture unfortunately...

There's many different parameters in your sudoers file you can change to alter its behavior. You simply don't understand Sudo.

The Linux community has a long track record of being hostile towards their counterparts. There certainly is a "theirs" vs "ours". They reap what they sow.

Just an FYI. Swift is now available as a package on FreeBSD! Now we get to toy with it on macOS and FreeBSD. :)

A boon for FreeBSD. And while they’re futzing around with meme-cachefs, we’re still winning with ZFS. Now if we could fix the ZFS ARC and mmap/page cache issue, it'll further instill FreeBSD as the better option.

Great. Let us know when you have a working port.

You're on a different platform. Your expectations are misplaced. Time to learn new things. Use bastille if you want that sort of convenience.
