The power of correctness.

The ports tree is so well laid out its a catalogue in and of itself. Just learn the filesystem hierarchy, your shell and use jails/pkg. No fluff.

I like the way the Arch Linux folks maintains their own collection of services in a coherent fashion. It'd be nice if FreeBSD adopting a similar experience. The main site is in need of a serious overhaul.

That's called Censure, not Slander. Vocabulary matters. Don't bite the hand that feeds you.

Slander =/= Criticism What's one less ungrateful user? Wait a minute.. they're proposing KDE an as option. But the GUI installer is written in GTK? Why? 🤦‍♂️ I think the Ubuntu Server ncurses installer is good enough for a modern UX; just add FreeBSD color accents and you're done.

Slander of the FreeBSD Foundation is enough to get this nonsense deleted IMO. I'm all for it.

You people underestimate how difficult writing an operating system is. Let alone a stable, performant one. FreeBSD isn’t going to be rewritten in another language, period. Too much engineering, innovation, and historical momentum went into the system. There are already ongoing efforts that...

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..
