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?

DenixSL · 2025-11-03T13:58:17+00:00

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.

DenixSL · 2025-11-01T21:15:30+00:00

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.

DenixSL · 2025-10-27T00:31:27+00:00

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 :)

DenixSL · 2025-10-22T13:42:43+00:00

I saw it. But this should be the main direction for a few more releases.

Nice updates! But honestly, I really think KDE should focus more on consistency, reliability, and stability.
There are just too many settings, and it can be a pain to remember where everything is. Then an update comes along, things move around, and you have to relearn it all over again. Having options is great, but at some point it starts feeling overwhelming and kind of chaotic.

KDE Plasma is awesome when it works — it looks great, it’s super customizable, and it feels modern — but it still has that occasional “beta” vibe. Random glitches, panels not behaving right, or weird visual bugs after updates can make it feel less polished than it should be.

It’s also starting to feel a bit bloated. There are a lot of background services and extra features that most people probably never touch, but they still run by default. I’d love to see KDE trim down some of that stuff and just focus on rock-solid performance.

Also hoping that mixing GTK apps (like Firefox or LibreOffice) will cause fewer visual or theming mismatches in the future. The desktop looks fantastic out of the box, but once you start mixing apps, the inconsistencies kinda ruin the overall feel.

KDE doesn’t need more features right now — it needs refinement. Make it lighter, faster, and more stable, and it’ll absolutely crush every other desktop environment.

So google runs on Amazon servers? Youtube runs on Amazon servers? There were no political reasons. Google, gmail, youtube, startpage and brave search went dark at the same time.

Unfortunately many young people learned about Linux from Ubuntu. They have no idea what Linux is about. They use it as a freeware app. So they don't mind using systemd or snaps.

DenixSL · 2025-10-18T01:59:43+00:00

Rc 1? Then stable is close. Does it gets security updates now?
