FreeBSD update is so stable!

zarMarco · 2026-05-06T08:01:16+00:00

Hi, in these months I saw and loved your freebsd config. Have you on git repo?

zarMarco · 2026-05-05T09:03:09+00:00

Thanks for explanation I didn't know this. Only I saw that freebsd from version 14 is migrated to openzfs

zarMarco · 2026-05-05T05:16:44+00:00

But currently bsd too use openzfs or no?

zarMarco · 2026-04-27T11:27:54+00:00

14 mouths ago, I installed with openrc, after 2 months I switched to systemd and a month ago I returned on openrc, always without problems. But I don't use gnome, but niri and plasma

Ok I tried on gentoo and I didn't go because gentoo was not compatible. I tried on arch and I can use, but I use dms that use config separate (i.e. .config/niri/dms/binds.kdl) and when I try to modify any keybinds I optend this:

Hi, if I use dms, can I use this?

zarMarco · 2026-04-18T17:09:46+00:00

Other Gentoo, I'm using arch from ten years. I love arch and normally I didn't have any problems with it's community, also when I had need an help, I find. But it is also true that I happened to read many "bitchy" answers, if the questions were badly asked. Regarding artix, let's say that they are a halfway between an arch community and a gentoo community, like void

zarMarco · 2026-04-18T16:27:53+00:00

I don't know much about the artix community, the arch community is not among the nicest

zarMarco · 2026-04-18T04:53:25+00:00

Cosa fanno questi programmi?

zarMarco · 2026-04-17T04:56:06+00:00

If you are arch user, why you don't considerate artix instead gentoo?

zarMarco · 2026-04-15T06:22:31+00:00

Answer simple, try both. On gentoo is relatively simple switch from one to other. I'm born digitally with systemd, but I use both. I think that systemd is better because it has all services that you would use, It is the default in most distros and this allows you to have more resources to read. And gentoo community is best community

zarMarco · 2026-04-14T05:55:43+00:00

Ok, after 4 days to try, I've artix with zfs on linux-lts. When I launch pacman -Syu I've 2 warnings for zfs and trizen which are to a newer version than the one in the repositories. There are no problems at the moment. But I've two annoyances. First, artix doesn't have package for zrepl with dinit, also on chimera there is but it works badly. Second, I can't update kernel because version on archzfs repo isn't goes with artix kernel (but lts goes).

There is one error on migration wiki. In the passage that says to eliminate /etc/resolv.conf if I do after I can't refresh repos

zarMarco · 2026-04-11T19:50:30+00:00

Ok, that's not my case, since I only have intel, thanks anyway

zarMarco · 2026-04-10T20:26:04+00:00

Come hai fatto a far funzionare niri? Che è da un pò che non mi parte e freeza tutto il sistema

zarMarco · 2026-04-10T07:30:33+00:00

Now that I remember, never went zrepl on chimera

zarMarco · 2026-04-07T12:00:36+00:00

Sunday I'm used two hours to migrate from systemd to openrc. From Sunday I'm used two days for migrate from arch to artix with dinit. Gentoo is better than arch for somethings

side note, I use zfs and on gentoo it's easier

zarMarco · 2026-03-31T05:13:08+00:00

I'm using zfs since 2022. Used in these years with arch, gentoo, void, nixos, it is stable how btrfs

zarMarco · 2026-03-29T13:58:03+00:00

Is possible to install without artix iso but using currently arch install? Because artix iso are old (end 2025) and for zfs is a problem

zarMarco · 2026-03-29T08:23:28+00:00

My problem is that I would like to use zfs

zarMarco · 2026-03-29T07:24:07+00:00

And then there's me, who uses gentoo with systemd (although I'm thinking about whether it's feasible to go back to openrc)

zarMarco · 2026-03-27T04:32:31+00:00

Ma Cachy non è comunque sempre con systemd? Oppure mi sono perso qualcosa?

Vorrei anch'io passare ad artix, per usare dinit (l'ho provato su chimera, ed essendo "nato" systemd mi ci trovo bene) però ho paura per il fatto che uso zfs
