NomadBSD and ghostbsd, which one is better? it may not so relate with freebsd, but i want to hear more advice as possible.

I cant use any of them because of nvidia card. And lack of drivers. But have they have use cases ?

Not sure where to post this or even if this an appropriate forum, but let us try it and see where it leads... Has anyone tried out hardenedBSD and if so what was your experience? I am asking this in the context of using it as an operating system for a bastion host running PF with NAT and...

OPNsense and pfSense are based off of the defunct m0n0wall distribution: m0n0wall has encouraged OPNsense as its successor. DynFi is another router/firewall distribution based off of OPNsense and pfSense. It uses a modified FreeBSD, and has a ports overlay on top of FreeBSD ports. DynFi also has...

Mainly for setting up ARM 64-bit (ARM64/AARCH64) architecture systems which Single Board Computers (SBC's) or miniboards use. In my case, it's a Raspberry Pi 4. This case is under $10 and fits in a front shirt pocket. The MicroSD card didn't fit with the board into the hard case at first, so I...

Mostly i boot FreeBSD. But second preferred is artix-linux. [Arch without systemd] For printing i'm forced to use MX-linux(debian), only drivers for my brother printer. What is your distro ?

I've been a windows 10 user for years now, and before Windows 7, but I've been also booting Linux distributions on a Live USB to get away from Windows from time to time, and I've been trying FreeBSD on a virtual machine, lately I've only been having too many issues with Windows 10 (and I'd never...

Hello, What are the advantages and disadvantages of FreeBSD compared to Illumos? Thank you.

I've been looking at the market for firewall appliances/distributions again, and stumbled upon DynFi firewall, which I have never heared before. Even more interesting, it is based and built upon FreeBSD, being itself a fork of OPNSense. It seems to be based in France, and the forums are not...

For FreeBSD users who have used OpenBSD, Fugulta or any OpenBSD derivative, what is your experience with it? I've never used them, though, I thought a discussion on them would provide useful insight. It would have been better if someone who has used it started a thread like this, but it hasn't...

I remember someone mentioning the BSD Router Project on here a few years ago https://bsdrp.net/ I had a look, but couldn't really make anything of it, and wondered if it was a rival to pfSense. After just looking at their site, it seems that there hasn't been an update in over a year, so can't...

For FreeBSD users, and those who've ever used FreeBSD, share your NetBSD experience. Including, if you've used NetBSD for complementary use with FreeBSD, such as needing hardware support for access. Keep in mind: why-is-freebsd-not-more-like.66591. For other discussion and technical help about...

As you know GhostBSD offers a Live mode for testing, a really easy to use installer & a collection of apps installed by default which makes it really easy for FreeBSD newbies to try FreeBSD. I have a GhostBSD install and personally I am quite satisfied. The only thing that I don't like is the...

https://hardenedbsd.org/content/about I am using GhostBSD. I like it. Its quite user friendly. I searched about which is the most secure OS & found 2. The first one is OpenBSD & the second is HardenedBSD. I care a lot about security so I am curious. Is HardenedBSD really more secure than...

Hi all, First of all, I recommend you to try NomadBSD if you still don't know it. NomadBSD is awesome for testing hardware, for first steps on FreeBSD or for use FreeBSD on a USB pendrive and you won't touch your hard disk. Super. I would like to know if somebody has install NomadBSD with a...

Who's new to FreeBSD? Did you migrate from another OS and what was your reason?
