Hi Mench, Thanks for your Video It's a beautiful present to make available your repositories & configs to everybody as they'll save lot of config time!
Just an FYI regarding text editors, Easy Editor is included with the base install of FreeBSD and can be invoked "ee filename". I enjoyed the video and have subscribed to the channel.
I am confused with the FreeBSD versions... 13.4 is a more recent release than 14.1 and seems to have some more up to date components...? What would be the practical use differences between 13.4 and 14.1? Why should I choose one over the other?
13.4 recently received security updates. The whole 13 series end of life is April 2026. The 14 series has newer features and end of life is November 2028. One thing I don't like about the OS, and I should have mentioned it in my conclusion, is that there are far too many ISO's and it's confusing. You can read bout the EOL here: www.freebsd.org/security/
My daily driver is Arch Linux. I often make videos on other operating systems and/or distributions that I don’t necessarily use on a daily basis. I do this for those who are interested and to bring variety to my channel.
Hi, thanks for the kind words, I appreciate it. I never installed it on bare metal, only in VM's. You can read about the hw requirements here: www.freebsd.org/releases/14.0R/hardware/
Hi Mench,

You're welcome. Thanks for the kind words, I appreciate it.

Thanks for the info, I will try the editor. Also, thanks for the positive feedback and for subscribing, I really appreciate it.
Hello, Mench! After being away for a while, I'm back again and I’ve missed your videos. I've been quite busy with college. Best regards!
Welcome back. I hope things are good at college. Thanks again for the positive feedback, I appreciate it.

If I have to guess it sounds like security and fixes. Similar to a Windows 10 update (even tho 11 exists now). Keep in mind FreeBSD is a complete OS.
Wait what set showmatch?
Sorry, don't know what it is. Did a search on the Freebsd website and nothing came up.
should i use doas instead of sudo?
Doas is available, so you may use it. It's really up to you, whatever you decide is best for you.
Why would you use this over linux?
My daily driver is Arch Linux. I often make videos on other operating systems and/or distributions that I don’t necessarily use on a daily basis. I do this for those who are interested and to bring variety to my channel.
It would be nice when you choose certain things (like ports) to know why.I see you did for somethings later.
I go out of my way to explain things, often over explaining. I missed that one, sorry!
@@linuxmench2118 Thats ok I enjoy your videos and thank you for doing them.
You're welcome! Thanks for the positive feedback.
LaShana Tova and also the very best for your health.
Thank you! LaShana Tova and the best to you too.
Hello great video. What are the hw requirement
Hi, thanks for the kind words, I appreciate it. I never installed it on bare metal, only in VM's. You can read about the hw requirements here:
www.freebsd.org/releases/14.0R/hardware/
I am thankful bsd never took off, with that license there would only be MacBooks windows and consoles
This seems like a lot of crap for no real rqason.
