Does anyone still live in Second Life?

Hey all!
Ow wow! I am moving over to Free BSD. The laptop I use for that is really shaping up.
Okay, still a lot to learn (background image on XFCE, partitioning and such...stuff)
On Linux, I sometimes dive in my Second Life. I use Firestorm for that, but I did not find it as yet.
Is Second Life a "thing" on Free BSD?
Thanks
Melissa

It looks like it's open source so you could build it from source, but I would definitely try the precompiled versions first. They have step by step instructions for building on LInux but I couldn't say how much carries over.

Well, I tried it today. Ehm...needless to say that a youngling in FreeBSD like me lost the plot quickly...but, indeed, the precompiled are a best choice...
Edit : ah, Firestorm, did not try that one...I went for the Singularity viewer. This post seems to be better laid out...thanks for the link...
 
There was a thread.

Thread 'Is there anyone still interested in running the Second Life viewer on FreeBSD?'

The last post on the Second Life client in this forum dates back in 2020, so there may be none, but if there is, this is a call for test.
  1. Download the port tarball from https://oikumene.que.ne.jp/FreeBSD/
  2. Extract the tarball under ${PORTSDIR}/games. There should be games/secondlifeviewer directory.
  3. Build and install the port.
  4. run /usr/local/bin/secondlife
If there are any problems, report me.
Known issue:
  • The port does not depend on fonts, so you might need to install the fonts the viewer uses by yourself. Check...
