KDE 5 is in progress, you can already try it http://euroquis.nl/bobulate/?p=1609 http://euroquis.nl/bobulate/?p=1609 Closing the lid is a non-issue, see sysctl hw.acpi.lid_switch_state. A more serious problem is that some Thinkpads just don't wake up https://github.com/FreeBSDDesktop/freebsd-base-graphics/issues/145 https://github.com/FreeBSDDesktop/freebsd-base-graphics/issu... :( This was already mentioned here but what's up with people thinking that ZFS is only for large storage arrays? You don't need anything more than a small SSD to get the benefits of snapshots, compression, and general ZFS reliability (copy on write — no data corruption ever, except for like hardware bugs). Boot Environments is an especially great snapshot-based feature. Also how is bhyve complex? It's the simplest hypervisor ever.

Thank you for the hw.acpi.lid_switch_state heads up. Bhyve seemed complex to me, because I was accustomed to Virtualbox and VMware. I tried to boot up ubuntu server with behyve and finding the kernel images, loading them, typing the boot commands were a hassle. Maybe if I had some prior experience with hypervisors, I could better understand behyve. As for ZFS, I always had extra space in my SSD, so compression was of little use to me. My FreeBSD system only used 30-40 GB of space (including downloads). I had 8 Gigabytes of RAM, but FreeBSD only needed 1.4 GB, even whilst browsing. I haven't used the snapshot feature, although I imagine it's powerful. I also haven't made use of FreeBSD jails, which are, according to what I read, far better than chroot.

  jails are like chroot but they also isolate PIDs, users, networking… so "containers" :) the bhyve command shipping with FreeBSD is a bit lower level, sure. There are more user-friendly front-ends like https://github.com/pr1ntf/iohyve https://github.com/pr1ntf/iohyve and http://chyves.org http://chyves.org

  OpenBSD's vmm is probably way more primitive, at least for now :)

  Some say without qemu and sandboxed with capsicum bhyve is the most secure hypervisor..
