I love Fedora. Even more so being that I can have it installed and booted and working easily in half an hour; DE and all. As I transition into FreeBSD (installing it on my daily system as we speak), I will keep it on my laptop. It isn't gone, but I won't need it very often since I no longer travel as much as I used to. But this is my third install of FreeBSD in three days (on purpose). I wanted to learn a few steps and processes so I used an old Seagate drive I have decommissioned. Following the thread with the minimal FreeBSD install was sort of fun, so much that two days in a row I installed on the system. I learned a lot.
Now I am installing it for real; a little differently of course, I didn't want to sit here a third day straight as stuff compiled. My Nintendo Switch has made it worthwhile though, so I was not bored.
However, although easier, I have hit my third hour installing FreeBSD. It should finish soon enough though, the SSD is definitely proving more capable than the old 5400rpm from 12 years ago. This is insane. Please tell me there is an easier, faster, secure way of installing FreeBSD with development tools, KDE or similar, DE and ready to work. I don't want to wait over two hours for an install. It's simply not efficient once the training and learning period has ended. There is a way, right?
