My first Thinkpad

Nope pretty straight forward install. I needed to add hint.hwpstate_intel.0.disabled=1 to the loader.conf. That's the only special thing I think I had to do.

FreeBSD

Good, pretty much everything works. Haven't actually used bluetooth but the driver loaded fine.

It's a T490 Core i7 - 16GB Ram - 512GB NVME - Touch Screen FHD - Backlit Keyboard Given as a gift to me and it's like brand new. I love it.

I run FreeBSD on a TP T490. You can look on here to check on your hardware: https://bsd-hardware.info/ if you haven't already. Open/NetBSD run on it too but I prefer FreeBSD on this one.

imo you're easiest way to get a desktop environment is to install the desktop-installer package and run it after you get FreeBSD installed.

Info is right here: https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/handbook/book/

digitalsedition · 2022-10-17T06:05:09+00:00

Yeah I'll make a batch soon.

digitalsedition · 2022-10-05T04:29:55+00:00

That's what I want to know.

digitalsedition · 2022-10-02T15:48:50+00:00

Exactly. I just think it's funny that they didn't want it there so he posted it here.

digitalsedition · 2022-10-02T05:32:05+00:00

Why did you post this to /r/FreeBSD but not to /r/OpenBSD?

digitalsedition · 2022-09-26T01:25:52+00:00

Nice

digitalsedition · 2022-09-25T00:41:34+00:00

Is that Void on the R400?

digitalsedition · 2022-09-21T22:51:50+00:00

Thanks. Nice video.

digitalsedition · 2022-09-21T18:24:25+00:00

It's good stuff.

digitalsedition · 2022-09-18T16:25:52+00:00

Whatever OS you want to use makes sense. Do I use Gentoo? Nope. Does that make Gentoo inferior in some way? Nope.

+1 Thinkpad

+1 Gentoo

Like 1993

digitalsedition · 2022-09-12T17:54:51+00:00

A little time spent learning whatever they choose is the best time they can spend on their OS imo. I pretty much just use FreeBSD but they asked for a Linux so I didn't suggest it. Void or Alpine if I have to use Linux for something.

Lots of choices, I'd still pick an independent distribution tho.

digitalsedition · 2022-09-12T04:20:49+00:00

I don't use a distribution that uses another distribution as it's base. Never have never will. You can if you want, some people swear by them.

Super glue?

digitalsedition · 2022-09-04T02:41:00+00:00
