I use PCLinuxOS on my desktop machine because in my opinion that's the best platform for what I want to do on my desktop machine. I use FreeBSD on my server because that's the platform I know for running servers. An OS doesn't need to be...

Ilovehotdog No you're not. Average users can't even spell FreeBSD much less find this forum.

And I'd bet none of those can be installed by an average user in front of a blank screen with a formatted disk.

Original article here. Consider this when replying. FreeBSD, The FreeBSD Foundation, and The FreeBSD Forums are not associated with the content of this article.

The culture is enshittified. Imagine you desire a backdoor in your gaming system that listens to your controller link to ensure you're not using software on it to cheat. I don't get it. The real competition spririt is gone at this point. That...

PC gaming can't have that :cool:; you're supposed to tweak PCs for the best gaming experience (else why not a console), and rabbit holes can lead to FreeBSD with lowest-known latency and xorg.conf snippets fun!

Then don't use them. Why would you expect ee to handle PDFs? I didn't even know it did. This is a mom and pop user mentality. A Windows gamer mentality. If you want games and user friendly simple things, use Windows. FreeBSD is not for you. To...

Ilovehotdog, it's surprisingly doable to stick with some of the older programs, though not all of them. I don't think there is a console browser that works on modern web pages, and though I still use mutt for email, I have it set to open a...

It's not about size to me but complexity. It should be required or not applied because it isn't a requirement.

Your link doesn't seem to refer to NetBSD at all... What doesn't work of the VC support?

If you really care, you can help by getting involved (as noted before). Commenting here is fine but that likely won't influence the direction of FreeBSD.

Using it as occasional desktop option. I like the portability. There's no rolled out installation. Copy your files to the target computer storage where they are expected. The ability to maintain a pretty strict standard over many architectures...

Curse that crappy YT! :rude:💩😤 I was about to link you the prelude of Wagner's "Lohengrin" - which, when you have it from a real quality recording (CD/vinyl,..) at >5:50 could be a real hardcore test to your speakers system. Anyway the link...

I've proven that FreeBSD can handle everyday stuff for regular users. Even 20 years ago, I was writing Chinese stories and playing Diablo on FreeBSD. Yeah, with twm — it worked just fine. I honestly don't get why Debian lets you choose a default...

FreeBSD with JWM as the desktop environment uses very little 283 MiB and is very lightweight.

I am not a lawyer, but I believe the definition of stealing or theft is something like "taking something away from someone with the intention of depriving them of it for ever." In other words, it isn't defined by getting something for nothing...

I school 17 years , i had a math teacher, he told us, wise men do self critic.

Sounds kind of missing the irony to me! Anyway, he can't be right because I'm right and I'm not him.

I may have used NetBSD before 2018, as opposed to what I wrote in my first post here. It may have even been before 2016. I remember using NetBSD for it had a working Flash Player, when this application was popular. Flash Player was reliable on...

What does drm-61-kmod? Using that on Raptor Lake / UHD Graphics 770 I haven't seen a clear explanation of which 1 is needed per Intel class.

Ping -4 for inside a ipv4 LAN? Not sure but this once took me some time when they added the -4 parameter. I still always have to think of it because the error is off-context. Other chance is that there's no gateway ip: #route add default <modem...

Nah, if reality meets my fancies exactly, then god help us all. Seriously: Sometimes it's just to give another angle of view on some topic already said, or to elaborate a certain point more deeply. I agree that for some this comes redundant. But...

Maturin, I'm "complaining" about needing a +300MB external display server only to operate a graphics card. See it as research. What's actually required? Not the entire X.org installation but the parts that set a resolution and display things. I...

No problem logging into to bugs.freebsd.org. No unusual spam.

It seems that the most realistic solution is the file manager, although I would always trend to trick with some commands. Since I think that a file manager in some situation could be useful, I have 4 installed: 1) rox-filer 2) ytree 3) nnn 4)...

Duplicate. Browser remembers cancelled text and puts it on again.

Have you tried fzf ? just run it in the directory will produce quick list $ cd $( find . -type d | fzf) $ nvim $( find . -type f | fzf) also highly recommend shells/fish - autosuggest by fuzzyfind any part of the file, eg $ cd /u/l/etc...

I have a working X.org with xterm and dependencies in 330MB. That's to me atm the minimal size needed for graphical output on top of the base system.. It's still way too much but it goes in the direction of an independent native graphics driver...

Depends on what the machine is. Answer post 70s is simple - the CPU knows where to look at. In IBM PC the 8088 CPU has a 'reset vector' of 0xFFFFFFF0, the CPU will execute instruction available at that address, which is bound to BIOS ROM. In...

Or maybe even better use a tmux: /etc/rc.local #!/bin/sh tmux_bin="/usr/local/bin/tmux" # Session name tmux_session="startup" export PATH="$PATH:/root/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin" $tmux_bin new-session -d...

Hardware failures have nothing to do with the operating system.

True, but it's far easier to skim an article than a video. Even with my method of running the video at 2x and just reading the captions, I can get the gist of a written article far more quickly.

My mother used to ask me, "If everybody else jumped off the bridge, would you?"

FreeBSD's default is "not using any GUI but old school command line interface". But FreeBSD has a bunch of GUIs (DEs) in ports tree, and even some of them can be installed in-pararrel without conflicts. Admins can choose anything in ports /...

English words, for english speaking people. Imagine the situation in Italy (for example). We have adopted it in our language and for lot of them `transformed` in italian, like `to grab` -> `grabbare`, `to download` -> `downloddare`, `to boot` ->...

The misc/mc viewer (aka mcview) can view a lot of files, PDF too. Just play with F8 and F9 keys while viewing. It also depends on the configuration file /usr/local/etc/mc/mc.ext.ini (and/or its user counterpart in %{HOME}/.config/mc if any)...
