Hello,
I want to know more of Freebsd, so I tried it with gnome on virtualbox. I like it.
Now I want to install it on my desktop BUT I read on https://wiki.freebsd.org/Graphics that "AMD Radeon HD 8000 Sea Islands" are "Not supported".
OK, No problem. I'll buy a new Graphic Card. Maybe a NVIDIA will be good and I'll turn off the "Radeon HD 8670D" integrated in my CPU.
But what about the other hardware? Network, Audio, Printer, USB ports?
Maybe someone here has the same hardware configuration and can help me.
-Network: Is Realtek 8111F, 1 x Gigabit LAN Controller working good?
-Audio: Is "Realtek ALC892" working good?
-Printer: Is CUPS and HPLIB fully ported in Freebsd?
my desktop hardware (2years and 3 months old):
-AMD A10-6700 CPU APU - CPU with integrated GPU,
-SSD 60GB Kingston,
-Asus FM2 F2A85-M PRO motherboard,
-RAM DIMM DDR3 Kingston 4GB 1866MHZ NON-ECC CL9,
-550W LC-Power LC9550 Power Supply,
-HP OFFICEJET 8600 Pro.
Do you advise me to use FREEBSD on my desktop hardware? I really don't want to spend money on a new NVIDIA Graphic Card and fail to install freebsd.
When my Motherboard or CPU will broke (I hope never ), I'll buy Freebsd friendly-hardware.
I remeber when Linus Torvards said: "Nvidia, f_uck you" (
).
Now I say (sorry if someone said before, and I don't quote him), AMD/ATI, f_uck you.
Why no AMD drivers for Freebsd? Why?
Thanks
Bye
