    Then you should open a PR, let the developers have a look at the problem on your system. If there’s an issue (which I haven’t been able to reproduce, perhaps I mad a mistake somewhere), that’s the best way to make sure it gets fixed.

    psarapkin in addition to what T-Daemon said which covers the drm side (i.e. software) you may need a newer version of gpu-firmware-amd-kmod that includes required firmware.

    Hence, a real printed poster, no image to be shown with a beamer or slide to be shown with a reflector. Forget html. In html is difficult to set sizes, you give structured info, the browser decides format.

    I'm confused... why bother with a local repository in the first place? You can easily tell pkg to install a specific package by specifying the pkg file directly, no need for overhead. Obviously if you use chroot you're restricting the scope of...

    Also, don't go creating "partitions" any more when using ZFS. Create another filesystem to store your data files. Study zfs. It's very fun and well designed.

    There's rarely a need to reinstall. Maybe if you completely hosed the system, but that's almost never the case. Boot failures, crashes during boot, etc. are usually solvable from single user mode. Or fixed with the help of the rescue/shell option...

    When will this chaos end?! Other distributions patch vulnerabilities faster. In FreeBSD, vulnerabilities in popular packages (which are crucial for a lot of things) can remain unpatched and unpatched for years!

    Must be a language barrier. Posters are something you hang on a wall. Like a movie poster for example. What you're looking for is typically called 'slides' (this used to be done with overhead projectors).
