OK, that's clearer. In any case, I'll take additional advice; it's impossible to trust apparently authoritative statements from you.

LSU context: the completeness is out of scope. Current aims include enhancement of the installer for FreeBSD; KDE Plasma and applications as an option.

Yep, the coherence is a strong point. Unfortunately, we now have a few people complaining about predictable, consistent behaviour with packaging that is coherent. The base system, FreeBSD, packaged. The complaints are about the effect of wi

I took it to mean, a relatively short period of time after funding became available. Bear in mind, it's a report from the Foundation.

Thanks. I have a vague sense that kernel panics with iwlwifi should have been resolved before 14.3-RELEASE. Bugzilla should be fairly close to definitive, expect info to be copious but well-organised. Alder Lake-P GT2 [Iris Xe Graphics], it

I have not yet needed a ZFS boot environment. I'm considering alternatives. Not ZFSBootMenu in isolation. I'm in no rush.

LUKS-encrypted root on ZFS does not take hours. I chose encryption when I installed the OS.

Kubuntu 25.04 here, root on OpenZFS thanks to the installer for Ubuntu. How is OpenZFS second class on Linux? < https://github.com/openzfs/zfs/ > is not perceptibly FreeBSD-first.

Not exactly a new laptop, but a few days ago I spent a similar period (around an hour) toying with FreeBSD on an HP EliteBook 660 16" (G11). Very rough notes – things were rushed (squeezing as much as possible into the end of a Friday
