I do see emotional venting in lots of threads on these Forums. Yeah, it's often mixed with technical info and requests for help. I frankly like it that way. Makes me realize that there are real people behind these posts, with their own levels of...

Note that there's a fork of KDE that stick with X11 instead of Wayland, SonicDE. But unfortunately, as far as I know, it's not ported to FreeBSD (yet). Anyway, porting efforts seem to be in underway.

Nothing of what YOU think or say makes sense; I have to suspend MY disbelief—like accepting the premise of a movie—a movie that's playing inside YOUR head. I think you have a serious problem: either you don’t read what I say, or you struggle to...

Ok, catch it. When I used it was in passing variables that contained arguments with spaces from one sh script to another, and another but variables was expanded many times so the double quetes was missed.

env -S "TX0='B C' TX1=X TX3=1\ 2\ 3 TX5='A B\" C\" D'" sh -c set|grep TX

Thank you so much both for the initial effort and for all the updates

None of this makes any sense, you need to suspend your belief, like watching a movie premise. My man here wants to vibe operating systems and roll out computers faster and cheaper than OEMs on top of hardware order backlogs with millions of $ in...

As the support for AMD GPUs in FreeBSD is confusing (well in general), here is an handy table for theoretical support as constructed from Linux Kernel LTS release documentation. Please remember that: Only FreeBSD 15.1/16 support DRM 6.12 (more...

Hah nah didn't mean it, we're neighbors, so your aim was out only by 1 country :D

I tryied to use -S option of env command to embed double quoted strings with no success. Perhaps someone can explain the following excerpt from env manpage (second paragraph) Details of -S (split-string) processing The processing of the...

I used Xfce 14.1-15.1 and 16.0 and never seen that happen with Intel graphics, but I do startx (no lightdm)

Please update pkg-plist. For example, devel/z80-asm do-install: ${INSTALL_MAN} ${WRKSRC}/doc/man/*.1 ${STAGEDIR}${PREFIX}/share/man/man1 ${INSTALL_MAN} ${WRKSRC}/doc/man/*.3 ${STAGEDIR}${PREFIX}/share/man/man3...

I'm on another trip and my wife is making terrible decisions on where to eat breakfast. Being stupid and in a rush I asked chatgpt and Gemini for recommendations which were for two greasy spoon joints and the hotel we're staying in.

That might be the problem with pre-builds: I wouldn't buy that with that mobo or CPU :p What's the most demanding game on Steam FreeBSD can run? It doesn't make sense to have all that power and not be able to use it, and I'd argue a limited...

I'm trying to update a very out of date port, and I'm currently having an issue with getting the man pages to compress. They are located in ${PREFIX}/share/man/man1 and man7 respectively. I can install them as a post-install action from the...

Well, maybe better start an own thread for this. When we continue to have an off-topic dicussion here, there will be others answering the original OP, and the content of this "search engine" topic (which I like to follow very much) was lost...

Search engines are dead. Why 'google', when all you get back is AI gen slop. We need webrings back. No AI generated content allowed.

It's not a decision for or against, but how to proceed, which isn't a straightforward choice given the circumstance.

Hard to think of how to follow that up, except for something from the Captain himself... View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uzo1mpk6oW4 View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TsjcQoJ8W4U

How can an OS decide against its preferred DE? I wasn't a fan of Fedora disabling X11 on GNOME before GNOME did it (QA =/= maintenance burden), but any distro using GNOME primary has to entertain Wayland. I don't get how that's acceptable though...

No I don't think this is about the login manager. 6.8 Plasma Desktop won't have X11 support, it is dropped, as in they stripped the code off so their implementation is straight Wayland which makes it possible to easily create features that...

It should be scripted. No need to replace X.org or anything else. Just start from vt and exit when the work is finished. That would make it worth trying. Now it behaves like a takeover of the existing GUI. For what?

Personally I won't be forced by some stupid piece of stat "95% of our users use Wayland". Has it occurred to them there's an inherent bias in reporting. Users that break automatic install and do their own (which is 100% a case for Linux and X11...

Almost sounds like we're turning into a Linux forum....

Most likely that listing was done with an llm that didn't take into account that ram and ssd prices get multiplied by 4 times already. Here a real listing: ASRock B650M-H ; 114.95 euros AMD Ryzen 5 8600G ; 199.95 euros Cooler Master MWE Bronze...

Where are you finding RAM and SSD for those prices? In the USA, 16GB of DDR5 RAM is going for about $250, and the cheapest 1TB SATA SSD's are going for about $120.

I do sometimes wonder if it's that AI has gotten better or search has gotten worse. Every once in awhile, I'll search for something that I think should be simple to find. I use startpage, which I think is based on Google, and I'm finding that...

Opencode needs Bun and Bun does not support FreeBSD. There was preliminary support for FreeBSD being added to Bun back in November, but it wasn't functional and just messed up their CI so they ripped it out. I've tried to patch it back in but it...

Sono un neofita di FreeBSD, avendo la disponibilità di 1 DeskTop PC, ho deciso di dedicarlo a FreeBSD, per curiosità, e da utente da decenni di altri OS (windows-macos-linux), ho installato senza fatica FreeBSD 15.1, solo leggendo attentamente la...

Mine is air cooled, like a good Porsche. But the card is 600 watt, it is pretty big that way.

Just saw this and well, it's easier to criticize and dismiss something, than it is to take some effort to (try and) learn more about the process. Happy to see that OP came around and reflected on this. Honestly... bias aside I think that...

FreeBSD nowadays is much easier than when I first installed FBSD in the early 2000s. Reading the relevant sections of the handbook is a solid basis from which a clearer understanding can be had.

Try upgrade to 15.1-STABLE branch. That fix my issue. Even I use the latest 15.1-RELEASE version, I could not get it works without disable th le hardware using boot option set hint.pcib.X.disabled="1"

32 GB VRAM is already very tight, although the NVidia 5090 I have is at least fast within those 32 GB. Many interesting models are a tight squeeze and can't have enough context window. The alternative is an AMD strix halo system which has up to...

One of the great things about FreeBSD is that you get so many choices of WM and can change as many times as you like.

I asked for a translation to free Google Gemini Flash, and asked if "They saw enough merit. They're prepared, and shall target the companies.". An excerpt of the answer:

I wonder what happens to the performance when CUDA is secretly a program that does the same binary operations. Something is very obscure about this.

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

Probably, I just can't see any way of this doing anything to justify the cost of fighting it.

They filed it, politely thanked you and sent you on your way.
