I just use like this, almost a default dwm with a cool dmenu helper to launch some apps and manage somethings that I stripped from sxmo

That looks way too efficient for me

Like it looks like switching between apps/windows would be easy, but I'm too used to Alt-Tabbing or mouse-clicking stuff with visuals and a bit of eye-candy.

Spoiler: Windows 11 with floating windows screenshot

Even though I could have Firefox side-by-side with a Terminal, I have it floating as a mostly-maximized window centered-focused, and Terminal on the right-side covered.

I know it's there to check every now and then (doing a large rsync currently), but don't necessarily want to forget about it if it's too-hidden , clicking it from the Taskbar is a longer mouse-move to the bottom of the screen from the center where I'm messing with Firefox, and Alt-tab requires full-interaction/focus (gotta stop what I'm doing to keyboard Alt-tab to check Terminal vs casually clicking it).

Is that GNOME System Monitor? I'd keep an eye on its memory usage if it is (I left GNOME's sysmon open for 10 minutes and it was memory leaking and ate like 5GB and some swap; that was on openSUSE Linux but relatively recent last month).

Although that looks like Mate and maybe they have their own version of it? Newer GNOME versions also has a Disk I/O graph.

This is Gnome system monitor, compiled from source an can run days or weeks, not leaking. I have also Mate and KDE system monitors, but I like the Gnome monitor the most.

A custom splash screen with vt(4) and FreeBSD 15.0-CURRENT​

With a PNG that was probably too large:

Loading splash OK

– but then boot does not proceed. No splash screen, and so on.

A Call for FreeBSD Artwork

We've been having a discussion over in freebsd-doc concerning splash screens (these funky pics people like to display when the OS is booting). A section on configuring these will shortly become part of the FreeBSD Handbook and the general feeling is we need more original artwork. (A few FreeBSD...

Bonus: attached (below), the PNG that was used for the recording.

It's almost ten times as large as the FreeBSD logo:

% exa -hl --no-permissions --no-time --no-user /boot/images
Size Name
7.7k freebsd-brand-rev.png
 14k freebsd-brand.png
 39k freebsd-logo-rev.png
375k Pickle-Bill-landscape.png
%

– don't experiment with images that may be oversize, unless you're prepared to dig yourself out of a hole with e.g. ZFS boot environments.

Have you encountered problems with CURRENT generally?

 

[Cath O'Deray]

Incidentally, stable/14 has the same capability.

splash(4) for FreeBSD-STABLE describes how to use the FreeBSD-provided red image of the orb.

Have you encountered problems with CURRENT generally?

Never any show-stopper.

Living on the edge

I'm using -CURRENT on a VM where I can do snapshots in case something breaks, etc. I want to know the experience of people using -CURRENT for serious workloads. Why do you use CURRENT? How many times it broke? Do ZFS snapshots help in this case? Which other tools and processes you use to...

Scaled down to 50% (the original was too large for the server).

… wireframe hands, horizontal with the palms up. In one hand was the Windows logo, in the other the Linux penguin. I wish I could find it …

Whether Shawn Harvey is the original artist, I don't know.
