Hi everyone. I want to install Freebsd on me laptop. My laptop has rtx 3060 and i7 11800h . will this work well on my laptop ?

Hi. I think you can always boot up a live FreeBSD distro like GhostBSD and NomadBSD and see if it works. I never used nvidia in my life but there are nvidia drivers in the FreeBSD repository. Also check the FreeBSD handbook. If you are going to use WiFi, also check if your WiFi card is at least usable on FreeBSD.

Depends on what you mean by "work well". If it's a basic system, then maybe yes. If it's Wi-Fi, a hot video driver, working with video editing, graphics, sound, proprietary Microsoft products and other tricks, then most likely no.

RTX 3060 should work fine with the x11/nvidia-driver (my RTX 3080 does). CPU is not an issue, at all. The only things that may or may not work, are your network interface(s) (wired and/or wireless) and bluetooth. Everything else is pretty much standard and should work out of the box.

Well, what might also be a problem is Nvidia optimus (if the hardware supports it). You might have to entirely disable either the CPU integrated GPU or the dedicated GPU.
I have seen some reports of people being able to get it to work but I don't know how much effort that was or how reliable it was.

Oh... and on my i7-1185 laptop (Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Carbon Gen9) the speakers are not working.

Working here on `X1 Carbon Gen9` with `i7-1185G7` onboard.
