Would you mind elaborating on what you use your VMs for out of curiosity?Everything. For me, FreeBSD is an ocean (host) in which different fish swim (as bhyve VMs) - Linux and Windows
surely yes - https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/why-do-you-use-freebsd-on-desktop.88480/post-603281Would you mind elaborating on what you use your VMs for out of curiosity?
I have been using rawtherapee for the past few years for digital photography and it works well enough for most of what I want to do, but I haven't really gotten to in-depth with post processing. Rawtherapee works well enough and I can bulk apply a profile or partial profile (actions) and then queue export.Everything but photography (`Capture One` only supports OSX).
Wow, seriously? Yeah, now that Open Source / Free Software / Libre Software has practically reached feature parity with paid stuff, hardware specs matter more than software these days.Digikam is pretty cool in that I can have it do facial recognition and search for my photos based on who is in the pictures.
I used to use XFCE and then I got lazy and started using i3 so I don't have to move windows. Both work great on systems with limited resources.Well it is my main system. So everything. And most of the time with Xfce. But when they do work Budgie and Cinnamon is also nice
That feature existed in digikam for sometime; however, I experienced segfaults for a year or more and one day, decided to try again and magic, it worked.Wow, seriously?

I used to use tvheadend many years ago, if I recall correctly, one uses that with a subscription to set their box up as a DVR.I use freebsd as a media center with Kodi and 2 xbox tuners working ootb with webcamd and tvheadend server. The performance and the picture quality is exceptional. I also use it in another machine as a nas server and as an xfce desktop(vbox windows 11guest included -for some apps that i use) and i am more than happy with it.
I need C1 to work with P1's digital backs, and there is no software that can handle 16bit colors at the same level (even Fapple failed to catch up, and killed its `Aperture`). DSLR is very common, so there should be no issues with Nikon, Canon, or Sony raws. But I doubt medium format/technical cameras will be usable with OSS SW anytime soon.I have been using rawtherapee for the past few years for digital photography and it works well enough for most of what I want to do, but I haven't really gotten to in-depth with post processing.

Digikam also started working about 6 months ago for me. Before that, it segfaulted due to some KDE bug which has since been fixed. Digikam is pretty cool in that I can have it do facial recognition and search for my photos based on who is in the pictures.
Well, it is about helping developers out. I have myself contributed with camera profiles and lens profiles over the years. Things happens much quicker when we do something ourselfs. And it is also fun to contributeI need C1 to work with P1's digital backs, and there is no software that can handle 16bit colors at the same level (even Fapple failed to catch up, and killed its `Aperture`).

Digikam and rawtherapee are GPL, and I don't know any medium format photographers to pair with, not to mention ones who can code as well. Ill shoot an email to P1, but they unlikely to communicate on any OSS topics.W

You don't need to code. You can contribute to projects like https://github.com/lensfun/lensfun . They want you to take some pictures at different subjects containing straight liens among other things, upload these to them and they make the measurements and database/coding. I did also help with libraw a long time ago. But how they handle new cameras today I don't know.Digikam and rawtherapee are GPL, and I don't know any medium format photographers to pair with, not to mention ones who can code as well.

Gentoo's Portage was actually inspired by FreeBSD's ports.i'm currently just experimenting with FreeBSD, something i've actually wanted to do for a while but i always got into trouble when installing it
only now i actually have it installed as a secondary OS in my PC thanks to an old laptop hard disk i have and it's been quite nice despite the multimedia keys issue and software support (can't build Mesen2 here)
but since i mostly use my PC for browsing the internet and messing with OS stuff i'm actually enjoying it a lot especially 'cos of the Ports collection since i come from Gentoo Linux

Brings me back to a year 2000 Windows 95/98/ME days ...Check out x11/xfishtank.
xfishtank was installed on a DEC Alpha 3000 on my desk at $JOB at the time (1993 or 1994), running DEC OSF/1 (which later became Tru64 UNIX). DEC packed a lot of little toys into their O/S.Brings me back to a year 2000 Windows 95/98/ME days ...
