Me tooHad this with gentoo but never with Debian.
You never had a Gentoo "emerge" go wrong? So, so wrong, that no amount ofWell, actually, I can't remember any problems related to package based installs in two and a half decades using Linux.

would fix it?Didn't see the Epic installer on that page. I scanned it, and was disappointed. It looks at the evolution of the Windows installers for inspiration. There's a reason why Windows needs a semi-friendly installer. Like Linux, its upgrades often result in a completely b0rked system, and the only recovery is full system re-installation.Woah! Epic graphical installer. I can dig it. https://freebsdfoundation.org/our-w...sed-edition/networking-3/installer-usability/
The day criticism of the Foundation is forbidden here is the last day I visit this forum.Slander of the FreeBSD Foundation is enough to get this nonsense deleted IMO. I'm all for it.
I once had a 5.0-RELEASE system that I used all the way up to 12.2-RELEASE by means of upgrades. The only reason I rebuilt it was to move from i386 to X86_64. I'm sure there was probably a way to do an in-place migration, but I figured... it was time to start fresh.One of the great strengths of Freebsd has been seamless upgrades. I have never had to re-install Freebsd on any machine, some of whom have been running for years. I've moved disks to new hardware with 0 problems.
I think that is just our bsdinstall pushed through gbsddialog rather than dialog(1). It won't present anything differently or make use of any of the actual benefits of a GUI interface.Woah!

My thoughts exactly.Wait a minute.. they're proposing KDE an as option. But the GUI installer is written in GTK? Why?![]()
"Slander" is often just unwelcome criticism. I stand by what I wrote.Slander =/= Criticism
Argh! If ever there was a Linux-inspired move...Wait a minute.. they're proposing KDE an as option. But the GUI installer is written in GTK? Why?![]()
While there's a lot that would warrant not coming back to a forum, that would be a mistake on the user's part.The day criticism of the Foundation is forbidden here is the last day I visit this forum.
No organization will tolerate that.Slander =/= Criticism
It means things which aren't true to damage a reputation."Slander" is often just unwelcome criticism.

Being already familiar with Gtk+, I considered it a reasonable trade-off if only to come up with a working demonstrator. Gtk+ is available under the LGPL license, which is still not enough a match for the target demographics.

Minor updates in Debian (the digit after the period) usually work, but not always.No. I dont't understand how this could even be possible.
It has to be. Compiling source code is how they make pkgbase.Will the traditional method of updating the system from source still be available in FreeBSD 15.0?
Wait... I thought people wanted the FreeBSD installer to be a mess. Why is everyone now complaining?Argh! If ever there was a Linux-inspired move...
