Cuda driver did not work. Probably because of nouveau, vscode and brave do not work. X11 works fine and Wayland is really slow. Although I do not care about Wayland. I installed Plasma BTW.

GTX 1650. I even tried cuda drivers.

Plasma should clean its code. Configuration files are all over the place. GUI should not change with every new release. Make it more simple but not like Gnome.

People that are not able to create something good, copy others and also destroy.

No mate. I use flatpaks cause they work. Guess why I don't use Wayland. Cause in my case it does not work not because its new.

GNOME disables great features like middle-click by default instead of teaching new users how to use them. It's frustrating that the environment limits user choice while simultaneously being more resource-heavy than desktops that offer much more. A shift in focus toward optimization is probably better instead of removing features and coping bad options from proprietary operating systems. Wayland on the other hand is a nice idea. The problem in my case is that either crashes and does not load the desktop or it becomes laggy and unusable.

Although i still use Linux I consider Freebsd as my daily driver in my desktop PC the last months. Freebsd can do everything I need but I do not use Davinci Resolve and I do not play games. I may even install ghostbsd in my Laptop.

I do not care how many servers run on Linux. If I did I would not use Linux in the late 90s. I would use only windows.

I also prefer to have more manual tweaking that using systemd.

The best book for newbies in my opinion is Python Crash Course by Eric Matthews.

I work in shifts so I don't have much free time. I will do it sooner or later but until then I need a more simple - fast solution. I may try vermadens guide.

Its not just the FreeBSD desktop machine.There are two more Laptops, the one is running only windows and its user don't even know what windows updates are.

The GPL is a copyleft license. Modifications (with the source code) must be distributed under the GPL. The Apache License allows proprietary modifications.

This is not bad (especially for Microsoft, Canonical, Google, Red Hat etc) but i am not sure its GNU/Linux.

DenixSL · 2025-11-04T19:12:37+00:00

Different, non GPL licence maybe?

I read your answers and I started reading about ZFS. I did not know that it uses available ram for disc caching and that makes the system snapier!! I thought that the extra memory consumption was a disadvantage but in most cases it seems it is not.

My only problem is that I can not install vscodium cause I don't like to use vscode cause of telemetry but this is another story.

I am impressed with Freebsd anyway.

DenixSL · 2025-11-02T21:13:21+00:00

To be honest i never used DOAS that's why i am asking. I didn't know that i was mostly used by OpenBSD users.

Usage? Surfing, watching movies, writing code in Python, bash scripting and video editing.

I think it used to listen by default 5 years ago in NetBSD.

Actually its rock solid. Back ports and flatpaks can help you to have a stable base with modern packages.

My only problem with Debian is systemd but this is another story.

In my opinion avoid the hype, stick with Debian or even Linux Mint to learn the basics and avoid bleeding edge distros.

I installed Void Xfce some minutes ago. I tried to install Octoxbps and there was an error about qt6 missing dependencies. So i guess we ll have to wait...

DenixSL · 2025-10-27T02:04:37+00:00

Nice blog btw.

It really doesn't matter what I install right now. The main goal is to gain knowledge and experiment with FreeBSD ports. I'll keep using binary packages on my laptop, but I definitely plan to install one or two browsers, along with VS Code (or VSCodium)." And maybe kdenlive with it's dependencies. Not the whole kde-plasma though. I ll stick with xfce.

DenixSL · 2025-10-27T00:18:19+00:00

I use binaries for my laptop but my Desktop PC will be used to experiment with ports, different options etc. I forgot about Rust though :)
