Well, I did some searches for the title both here and Google but only came up with a couple of things, mainly from "cool trainer" which is for FreeBSD 11 and who knows how valid or applicable on 12.x. I know there a bunch of tunable params (sysctl?) available in FreeBSD but are there any that are actually beneficial for desktop use? I see the shared memory one for Chrome, assume that also applies to www/chromium. Does this actually do anything? I try to keep my /etc/rc.conf, /etc/sysctl.conf and /boot/loader.conf fairly simple but I have seen some very lengthy additions to these files for network tuning, etc. I don't want to clutter up my configs with a bunch of meaningless entries that are not meant for my use case.
Any recommendations from folks using FreeBSD as a desktop? I am running x11-wm/fluxbox and the x11/drm-kmod driver for my HD630 Intel GPU. I have 64GB of ram, an i7 7700 and the system is all SSD: one for the OS and one for my user's /home. My main usage is web, graphics editing, possible video editing, playing streaming music and writing. I also game using emulators/wine.
I remember SirDice mentioning to a user that out of the box, FreeBSD is tuned pretty well, but I can't remember for what use case. Any pointers folks have would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
