If you add the same lines are required for Gnome and KDE you get lesser complaints.
I wouldn't have switched over to FreeBSD if KDE were the only thing involved in my decision. A lot of stuff under the hood is just much better engineered at FreeBSD than in any Linux distro. Yeah, I know FreeBSD lags in hardware support, but it's got a much better organized software internals. Just try keeping up with
ifconfig - every linux distro has it in different places, and it varies version to version, too!Do they tell you to do different things?
dbus to rc.conf but don't say anything about to add any "proc" line to the fstab, I read the error messages noticing the panel was complain about missing that "proc" line.$ man xfce4-[tab]

proc is no longer a requirement. In the words of a developer: "none of the kde software should rely on proc …".
Ahh... manpages will tell you how to use something - what flags you can pass to the utility, etc. The Handbook will tell you how to set up something - what to put into a config file, name of the package, etc. As an example, ifconfig(8) will tell you how to use it, but it will not tell you how to compile it and install it.
ifconfig is part of the base, BTW, so recompiling just that with some different make flags and installing it is a complicated process, you have to know what you're doing.FreeBSD is already vital. Going out of scope as to who the target audience is takes your eye off that target. Losing focus is never a good thing.
It is vital now, but not guaranteed after 5-10 years. I don't like to see news like Company X moved from FreeBSD to Linux but it happens.
Links, please, preferably fresh ones.
Some of these mention migrations to FreeBSD from a number of systems (Solaris, Linux, Windows):
These pop up all the time in my web traversals. From 10 days ago. I could find more.
Nah. Face validity at best. For example, more users hasn't helped Windows, macOS or Android be clean, well engineered operating systems has it?
The army needs soldiers, not only generals and colonels. And hardware manufacturers decide whether to develop driver for specific OS according to marketshare or total number of users. No matter they are quality users or not.
Do it!
Yes, soldiers possibly translates to technical power users and developers. People who just want iTunes and desktop environments to play games with, less so.
I don't disagree with you here. Though weirdly, I think Linux 100% dominates in the web server space and yet many of the drivers they are using for this role on these typical semi-commodity servers are rarely written by the companies. Vast majority is reverse engineered and subsequently open-sourced. Linux was originally *the* way to get off the treadmill of dealing with companies and vendors. Seems strange that the new generation is trying to jump in bed with them again.
Freebsd is building an army? This is news to me.
Try to tell this to "management"
