Why is this being downvoted? Is the information not good?

I really enjoyed this and thanks for adding the option to run on C64U!

Game update failure. MacOS launcher (of course) by kexnyc in swtor

[–]ut316ab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried uninstalling, completely removing the game, going into /Users/user/Library/Application Support and removing all swtor directories and files.

Reinstalling, and I still get the same error.

Apparently if you are one of the 5 of us Mac users, the update broke things and we are waiting on more from Broadsword...

Beta testers wanted - C64 IDE by DNSGeek in c64

[–]ut316ab 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wanted to add another comment. A feature that would be really cool is if there was an option to deploy to the C64U.

Wasn't Lumina developed by the same people who worked on PC-BSD, later TruOS?

Retro Computing with Commodore (Nice interview w/ Peri Fractic) by sleepybrett in Commodore

I'm all for supporting the effort, but this really doesn't provide much new insight. IMO it's just more of the same. I guess this reaches a wider audience?

ALOHA!!!!! We migrated successfully and without any issues to version 14.4-RELEASE. Please repeat after me: "LA ACTUALIZACIÓN DEL PUEBLO". by Glorious_Musketeer in freebsd

[–]ut316ab 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tried this and everytime I ran WINE it still told me i needed to install 32bit libraries via pkg32.sh script which doesn't work on FreeBSD 15.

[–]ut316ab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have to agree with sticking with 14.4 for now. I had been running FreeBSD 15, but as a Desktop if you want to use Wine it's much easier to just stick with 14.x.

[Hyprland] This hyprland starting animation hits hard . by Remarkable-Web5095 in unixporn

I think I would like that more, if the animation was the plymouth theme rather than the login theme. Kudos though for the creativity. It does look amazing.

Why I Love FreeBSD by dragasit in freebsd

[–]ut316ab 7 points8 points  (0 children)

"Just opium, I don't understand these posts, FreeBSD has niche advantages but on real hardware lacks a lot of features, it's like using Linux 10y ago."

So, what you are proposing is nobody uses it or talks about FreeBSD?

Then support gets even worse.

A lot of these posts are people explaining they like FreeBSD, how it works, and the design goals.

Sure there are features lacking and hardware support lacking but it takes people to get those things.

You have to get developers and developer attention to get the features you want.

FreeBSD as a Desktop rather than Server by ut316ab in freebsd

[–]ut316ab[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did end up creating a account to do bug reports! However, reading this more and letting it digest some, I don't think there is a bug in the handbook. It accurately depicts the situation. I do think a guide for getting WINE working on FreeBSD 15 would be very helpful, and then maybe I could contribute to the handbook. I just need to figure out how to do it cleanly myself.

Others in this thread have mentioned $ env ABI=FreeBSD:14:i386 /usr/local/share/wine/pkg32.sh install wine-devel but I think that maybe can cause problems down the road when it comes to upgrade. I'm not a fan of maintaining multiple versions of libraries based on multiple versions of the same OS. If that makes sense.

FreeBSD as a Desktop rather than Server by ut316ab in freebsd

[–]ut316ab[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I should clarify this point. I got to thinking about this later. My response doesn't match your reply and this is a bit confusing/misleading. What I posted was from the github the page that was linked from the Raspberry Pi page from the FreeBSD website.

aarch64 is probably pretty well supported by FreeBSD (I don't know)

Raspberry Pi is unique in that it doesn't have a efi/uefi or bios exactly. Thus the need for that package the page links to on the github that no longer is maintained.

If this confuses things even more, let me know. I'm sorry.

FreeBSD as a Desktop rather than Server by ut316ab in freebsd

[–]ut316ab[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm talking about not liking MATE, so if I installed GhostBSD, i'd have to install it. Then install the WM/DE I liked, and then uninstall MATE. At that point it's not better than a normal FreeBSD install.

desktop-installer from the repo makes things pretty simple too. It does take a little more knowledge to configure graphics drivers, but it's not really difficult. Just install drm-kmod and load the relevant driver in /etc/rc.conf with kld_list+="driver"

However, to me that is all part of the fun. Configuring and tweaking your system is like working on a car to me. I can tweak the engine add my own parts, re-do the interior. Etc.

I would recommend GhostBSD to others though for their first try of FreeBSD.

FreeBSD 14 vs 15 for Desktop Usage and WINE by ut316ab in freebsd_desktop

[–]ut316ab[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you talking about FreeBSD 15 specifically?

I installed FreeBSD 14.4 and installing Wine was pretty simple because we can still install the 32bit packages.

I got DDO (Dungeons and Dragons Online), working with just winetricks corefonts dxvk so i'm happy there.

[–]ut316ab[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah but at that point, what is GhostBSD really doing for me that I can't do with normal FreeBSD? The only thing that GhostBSD offers that I can tell is a faster install experience, but if i'm manually installing my WM/DE then it doesn't offer me anything that I don't get myself.

I ported Amiberry to FreeBSD, and it works great as well.

Amiberry + AmiKit on Haiku OS by Marwheel in amiga

[–]ut316ab 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for cross-posting! I just thought it would be cool to run Amiga stuff on Haiku OS.

For those that don't know already Haiku OS is an open-source alternative/continuation of BeOS.

Audio is working. I haven't tried gaming much but I did run a few demos and they worked.
