Hi, I just had an opportunity to install FreeBSD 14.0 on my new Mini PC. I decided to share results with the community.

Specs:
Mini PC Beelink SER5 5560U, integrated Radeon GPU (Cezanne Radeon Vega).
Ram 16 GB
SSD 512 GB.

Works:
The system works well, GPU drivers installed by using SCFB driver, or I deleted 20-vesa.conf and 20-scfb.conf at the end, I don't remember… But I added in rc.conf "kld_list="/boot/modules/amdgpu. ko"

Audio works (I'm using headphones with 3.5 jack connected to monitor) and sound goes through HDMI.
1080p, 144 hz monitor works as well.

What doesn't work well:
Wi-Fi connected, but speed is about 10-15 mbps. I hope Cheng Cui’s will fix it soon! :)
Ethernet network works well, full speed.

What doesn't work at all:
Bluetooth. I think I tried everything, including dongles.

Probe can be seen here.
Thanks
 
Thanks, I'm a mini-pc fan boy. I have a very similar one than yours and run FreeBSD on it.

How much noise does it makes? Can you hear it at all doing web surfing or office work?

Thanks for those details. I'm very interest in spinning up one of these as I'm a bit of a mini-PC/NUC fan for homelabs. I don't care much about the graphics side of things but the network side is important and I've always heard/read that the Realtek NIC performs pretty poorly on FBSD. Now that you've had it running for a little while, are you still happy with the ethernet side of things?
