Having just stumbled across your channel.. Thanks for the enjoyable Sunday going through your back catalogue and re-visiting BSD on my daily driver... subbed ;)
I love this video and the channel! I'm testing out FreeBSD 14 on an HP laptop & it's working smoothly.
Hi Gary, this is the first video I’ve seen from your channel and I like it. I love the ambient music in the background. Nice touch, mate. Subbed 👍
Thanks and welcome :)
The ambient music sounds like the music from the movie Her(2013)
Thank you for the first impressions of you! Really nice! Keep it up and see ya later!
Thank you and thanks for watching :)
Hi it looks great and I would love to use it. But, can you please show how you got that desktop on it. Historically I am able to get something like gnome installed but then I either can't get a mouse working or I can't get the desktop full-screen. If you can do another video showing how to accomplish all of those things in virtualbox I would totally use it.
Thanks Gary. I'm running FreeBSD 14.0 on my server now.
Nice, thanks for watching :)
glad to hear from u, sir..thx..😁
Great review! Love the ambient background music!
Thanks, it's just an experiment, thought I'd try it out :)
I wish I could have liked this video a second time for the "Apple devices... Bugger off, got none of those" remark 🙂
Haha, yeah I forgot i'd said that :)
I’ve been running FreeBSD for a while now on my main computer. 14 has been quite nice. I may make the switch from Xfce to KDE.
As I understand it, he end of life thing was a cock-up! According to Colin Percival "The security team put the wrong EoL timestamp into the freebsd-update bits. Ignore the warning."
Indeed, was a bit of a double take when I saw it haha
Do you run FreeBSD on a bare metal system or in a virtual machine?
Both, it depends on the workload :)
Does freebsd support wayland? Does possible to install plasma wayland session? How do we activate sddm's service after installing plasma. Or is this necessary like in Linux?
Wayland is supported on FreeBSD. There are instructions in the FreeBSD handbook for setting up Wayland and Plasma Wayland. Setting up sddm is rather simple. If you edit /etc/rc.conf and add the line sddm_enable="YES" after installing sddm you will have activated sddm. This is also in the handbook.
I've had success with Wayfire and Sway as compositors, KDE plasma couldn't find my graphics card but that might just be a problem on my specific setup.
I wonder why there isn’t an embedded FreeBSD like what Linux has embedded Linux?
Which desktop environment is? Budgie? Is installed by default? Starts in graphical mode just like any Linux?
Can we get the latest DE on freeBSD
Yes
does it really startup in Gui automatically or did you have to change anything?
I added the login manager to rc.conf :)
I've seen the 'end of life' myself on the server. I use freebsd-update which updates the OS itself. I've not seen it since an update.
Indeed, it has now gone away I believe
i had never known FreeBSD has KDE PLASMA.!
Great video
Thank you :)
@@GaryHTech thanks
Would freebsd14 work with cpu 7800x3d AMD and AMD RADEON 7800xt? Looks somewhat good from what you showed, thanks.
Is better to wait a little i think. Tried to update via freebsd-update and got that amd64 is not Tier1 ! :D. Edit: it is case sensitive. It works.
The biggest issue I have run into is the application libraries for available software don't get imported in Suyimazu. :D
I get the feeling that this guy likes Star Trek.
good. now try to install nvidia driver and say goodbye to next 3 weeks.
I'm really poor and I don't have a mouse.
No sound? UR having a laugh.
