Using FreeBSD (or any other BSD for that matter) makes you too dependent on Linux libraries and Linux software that is poorly designed, bloated, and frequently without support for *BSD because it was dropped by LinuxBros. I actually think it would be easier from a maintenance standpoint, as well...

Hi, I want to use the xbox remote play feature to play from my pc, then i found out it is not supported on firefox but on chromium-based browsers, so i installed www/linux-chrome to give it a chance, but it doesn't detect my USB controller unlike firefox. # ls -lahi...

Hi all! Could you share your experience and advice on how easy it is to develop and test C++ software for Linux using FreeBSD? I'm new to FreeBSD. What tools should I consider? I've read the documentation, compatibility tools, and virtual environments (jails). But I'd like to hear from real...

You, as people who know the difference between Linux and FreeBSD, what cell phone do you choose? Is it an Apple because it's a BSD derivative? But then it's proprietary, meaning you can't quite do what you want to do with it. Or is it Linux because it's at least open source and you can do...

I am currently on linux, which has officially opened the floodgates for vibe-coding, that is, coding with AI and using AI for bug fixes, and sure they have to specify it, but like with the crowd that forked GZDoom to UZDoom; once it's in the code, it will be forgotten and ignored! So I am...

I issued the following dd command in 15.0-BETA1 and it failed: # dd if=/dev/cd0 bs=1 count=1352306688 | sha512sum dd: /dev/cd0: Invalid argument Yet when I piped stdin to it instead, it succeeded: # cat /dev/cd0 | dd bs=1 count=1352306688 | sha512sum 1352306688+0 records in 1352306688+0 records...

With the upcoming changes in 15.0, and some of the major changes before, FreeBSD development seems lost. There are solutions being applied and thrown around, without a problem. I think that the rust-in-base, deprecation of longstanding base utilities, and the push for more "toe-in-the-water"...

Hey, I wanted to understand what is the state of Linux dockers execution and docker's compose.yaml on FreeBSD. I've tried to read various articles and that forum thread, but I'm still not sure I understand if there is some easy way to start ready to use Linux Dockers? Ideally, by re-utilizing...

The x11/xorg port is EXTREMELY bloated. It offers to install so much Linux-crap like Wayland and glibc. I can't belive the default port for X11 offers to install shitty GNU/Linsux bloat. This gives people an awful first impression of BSD in my opinion. I just installed xorg-server, xterm, xdm...

I found this on the official 15.0 release notes. This is a nightmare. It seems like, to compete with Linux, the Foundation wants to turn BSD into Linux. I hate the idea of pkgbase being the only way to update FreeBSD. That is the main reason why I fled the Linux world. Furthermore, the KDE...

I have been thinking about the old problem of Linux having more drivers than BSDs. The drivers are, however, locked to the Linux kernel. Then I thought, has it been explored that one would run GNU/Linux just for the drivers using, for example, something like a Raspberry Pi (specifically, an x86...

i have 3 jails that use nullfs to mount the home directory each jail has zsh installed and so they all use the zsh config files i need a way to check the os, so i can have different shell config for each jail so they can have different shell paths XDG_RUNTIME_DIR directories, or use X11 or...

Hi to all, I'm new at FreeBSD. Coming from GNU/Linux. I have wireless card MT7921. Once I tried FreeBSD, i had issues with wireless. I think there's no support for MT7921. I've seen there were some developments for MT79xx family and also use Linux driver with LinuxKPI. I don't know how to do...

I have installed the Freebsd podman-suite pkg and created a Ubuntu container The XDG_RUNTIME_DIR is mounted from Freebsd to the Ubuntu container so i can access the Wayland socket Then i installed qt5ct on Ubuntu, created a user and set up the shell and exported the xdg directories qt5ct...

I have installed ubuntu and the internet does not work there without root

On the same machine (Lenovo ThinkCentre M600 Tiny Thin Client N3000 terminal), installing pure FreeBSD 14.1 (UFS fs) and Debian (EXT3 fs) distributions, the disk performance results are dramatically different. Result from dmesg (FreeBSD): ada0 at ahcich1 bus 0 scbus1 target 0 lun 0 ada0...

Hi, The official documentation describe the Sublime Text installation in context to a Linux C7 environment. Upcoming warnings shows, that C7 will not more supported. In this case I tried to install Ubuntu and Sublime Text, but Sublime Text will not start and no error message shows why. What is...

I was curious as to what OS I appear as on different servers and check out a website called https://whatsmyos.com/ Both Chromium and Firefox show that I am running Linux. Luakit shows that I am running FreeBSD 64bit. I wonder how many metrics are measuring web traffic and counting FreeBSD as...
