Is the learning curve hard to get used to FreeBSD?
- vermaden 2y ago
  Using FreeBSD and also Linux/AIX/... I would say FreeBSD is easier to use/learn. Also - important stuff/commands/subsystems does not change on FreeBSD every 5 years. With Linux for example things that changed: - Init => systemd(1) - ALSA => PulseAudio => PipeWire - ifconfig(8) => ip(8) - route(8) => ip(8) - netstat(8) => ss(8) - network-scripts => nmcli(8) [@RHEL/@Fedora/@CentOS/...] - LILO => GRUB => NMBL - X11 => Wayland ... and its not the end of these 'rewrites' unfortunately.

  I started in 2018 but I keep adding new articles and update the older ones with relevant data. So it means - its ALL up-to-date.

  Check the + UPDATE(S) on the right. Details here: https://imgur.com/xUL9gQa https://imgur.com/xUL9gQa My 'fault' is that I do not add exact date of the update but ... this is the message I keep on my front page: Keep in mind that I try to update articles posted here. I follow all supported FreeBSD versions – you can check which FreeBSD versions are currently supported on this page – FreeBSD Release Information: Currently Supported – from official FreeBSD website. If something gets out of date or works differently on newer versions – I add a needed UPDATE to a post to make it up to date. Hope that helps. Regards, vermaden

Thanks to the author for making the effort! I don't use FreeBSD on my desktop myself, but I think it's important to have options.

    You've been a great resource for all things FreeBSD. Thanks. Any way to download the entire "series" in one document?

      Hi and thanks :) I did not created such thing ... but You can use SingleFile browser extension: - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/single-file/ https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/single-file/ To save entire page with images and videos as a single HTML file. Use it this way: - https://i.imgur.com/vFiPhFv.png https://i.imgur.com/vFiPhFv.png Not exactly what You needed - but still IMHO a step into right direction. Regards, vermaden
