haha, no I meant gui software for management of drives and partitions are not ported to work with native UFS/ZFS file systems. I didn't mean Dolphin. Sorry, I had a lack of punctuation there.Dolphin is a file manager... it's supposed to be filesystem-neutral, and not care if you got ZFS/UFS/NTFS/JFS/ReiserFS/whatever as your filesystem.
OK, thanks for clarifying... I did a quick look just now, and it seems like KDE does offer a GUI tool to work with partitions... I'd think that GNOME does, too. But I've been unable to find anything in the Ports Collection, not with a quick, cursory look.
Yes, Gnome uses gnome-disk-utility. I used to use that program often in order to edit my fstab entries and mount settings. It's a nice utility for managing disk partitions and fstab. When I first starting using FreeBSD on my systems a few years ago I searched around for a comparable GUI utility but I now just use a terminal since I didn't find one.
It is in the TODO list: https://wiki.freebsd.org/KDE/TODO. Let's hope that with the "adoption" in the installer things get a speed-up.
Woah, that's going to take some serious time I'm sure.It is in the TODO list: https://wiki.freebsd.org/KDE/TODO. Let's hope that with the "adoption" in the installer things get a speed-up.
You must have been socialized in the Linux world, where it is "our way or the highway". Added to my ignore list.
The appeal to graphical environmennts doesn't make much sense anyway. What's different if you install everything independently? If crucial things are missing, the central KDE management should explain what's the problem. FreeBSD has not so much to do with it.
What a charming person. I've added you to my prayer list (I'm an atheist, though). I have barely used Linux. I've been socialized by my own reason. Not everyone is a sheep, but sheep tend to think that.
The future of MATE looks bleak to me - shame because I enjoy it. There have been no releases for years, no blog posts for years on their website, and little activity in their repo: https://github.com/mate-desktop
It does surprise me the Foundation aren't more visible in the Forums, but the mailing lists are a good place to keep your ear to the ground. "The community" was asked, but perhaps not "this community".Description of the Program Manager Alice Sowerby:
Our Team | FreeBSD Foundation
Staff Leadership Executive Director Deb Goodkin Deb has been with the Foundation since August, 2005. She has spent 20+ years working in marketing, sales, and development of data storage devices. She earned an MSEE from the University of Santa Clara, and a BSCE from the University of California...freebsdfoundation.org
She surely didn't ask this community if we want KDE Plasma and Wayland.
Bearing in mind it's a corporate-funded project that aims to make FreeBSD competitive with Linux for laptop use in a business environment, I think the emphasis on Wayland for the long term is rational (and I say that as an X11 user personally). Like it or not, within the next few years any serious corporate *BSD offering for laptop/desktop use will need Wayland to run well on it. How many big desktop environment projects have committed to X11 support in the long run? There are some DEs which have got stuck on X11 because they lack the dev pool to move to Wayland, but that's not a positive indicator for their viability either. And that's before mentioning the state of XOrg itself...
I think forking Gtk3 and stay there (security fixes only) would be saner than supporting Wayland.
That plus all build dependencies (and respective dependencies), plus select runtime dependencies (plus respective dependencies).
Unfortunately, it clearly beyonds me.
Thanks for the info!
Gtk2 had a pretty superior theming system. If a desktop were to remain frozen and "old", then it might as well go back to Gnome 2 with Gtk+2.
Well, but Gtk2 would need better HiDPI supports, at least as Gtk3.
