will freebsd15.1 drive my mini-pc well?

will freebsd15.1 drive my mini-pc well?

and get 90%-100% power?

I test the other open source system before.

here it is the information which they show to me.

by the way, will freebsd15.1 use wayland mode?

Looks like no problem. It needs drm-61-kmod. No idea how to run Wayland but it's supposed to work on this hardware.
 
Yes, it will work fine. I have the same cpu (and gpu obviously). In any case as you already tested with GhostBSD you know it works.
What may not work is Bluetooth, wifi and ethernet out of the box. I suggest you check the model for those before to confirm what is supported with a loadable kernel module (realtek 2.5G ethernet cards for example) and is not supported at all at the moment (ie mediatek mt76xx Bluetooth cards).
 
No sound, you probably just need to select a new output, see here: https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/handbook/multimedia/#sound-setup (specialy section 9.2.3). If using pulseaudio (or pipewire with pulseaudio support), check the mixer app on your DE (i.e. the sound icon).

As for wi-fi unless you indicate what is your card model follow the documentation and see if that helps: https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/handbook/network/#network-wireless

But otherwise Bluetooth and wifi are current pain points of FreeBSD.
 
I'm not familiar with that particular PC, but FreeBSD works fine on a Beelink SER5 Pro, as well as a Beelink SER5 (don't really know the difference). I think wifi worked out of the box on both, with an AX200 card. You might be able to find the card with GhostBSD by running
Code:
 pciconf -lv
and maybe grepping for 'Wi-Fi'. I'm usually lazy and do grep -C 3 ethernet which usually catches the wireless.

Wayland works well on FreeBSD, at least labwc, dwl, and mangowc which are the only ones I've tried. (Though dwl doesn't seem to work with fcitx5, which is what I use for entering Japanese--I see you are using Chinese, but don't know what you use to input it.)
