To be honest, it's this sort of thing that makes me happy to be back on FreeBSD for everything but gaming and DRM media (hi Spotify).
Sure there's a little more work to get set up (which I've scripted and put in Gitlab, so it's easy the second and subsequent times).
But the documentation is first class (in particular, the FreeBSD Handbook is great), and generally, when you set something up it stays that way.
Reminds me of late 90s / early 2000s GNU/Linux in that regard.
- nulbyte 6y agoI love FreeBSD. Are you using it in a laptop? If so, which one? I've been looking for a friendly laptop to check out the latest FreeBSD. It's been a while.
- blackhaz 6y agoI've been using it on X1 as a desktop driver since 9.0. Lovely setup: http://trafyx.com/?p=2551 http://trafyx.com/?p=2551 OpenBSD would be even cleaner and leaner, but I needed wine, keras, theano and a few other things it didn't offer.
- duncan_bayne 6y agoI've used it with much success on the ThinkPad X220 and more recently the ThinkPad W540 (the latter of which I dual-boot into Ubuntu). I'm having a few issues with the docking station on the W540, which I'm currently putting down to the docking station being faulty, as I had no such issues docking the X220. I plan to test a different docking station in the next few days and see if the glitches go away (USB mouse sometimes needs resetting, and X loses the external monitor until it's restarted).
