What's the point of GhostBSD when FreeBSD with KDE is just as user friendly?

Is it true that netBSD can be installed on almost anything? Could you have a netBSD phone?
Am I really going to fuck my freebsd install installing stuff off ports and pkg? I'd quite like to use calibre and a few other bits.

>>108253576OpenBSD works perfectly on Thinkpads, btw.
General question:Is anyone waiting for the Snapdragon 2nd gen SoC's to install BSD on it.There is literally not a single video on the performance, usability or a tutorial how to install. Nothing, Nichts, Nada
>>108251360cuck license
>>108251499PCBSD died for our sins so it was pretty much the single LiveCD available for BSDs with NomadBSD.
Does anyone here have any experience running wine-proton on NetBSD? Can you pretty much run everything like on Linux?
>>108251752I feel like you should look at the man page for daemon(8) - it's what actually runs a number of third-party processes when they are started by rc>>108252134I am not sure I understand the question, freebsd pretty much requires packages/ports to be installed to accomplish much of anythingusing the built-in ports system or the pkg tool is preferred over whatever arcane bespoke nonsense a developer would have you curl into a root shellit is very easy to remove a port / package if you determine it is unnecessary>>108252154I saw that in personthe context of it is lost on the youth, with the proliferation of small single board computers>>108256229arm devices are such delicate and unique flowers, every one has some unique bit of hardware and thus needs bespoke adjustments>>108259658that shit had a ton of bespoke trash that meant it deviated from freebsd too much to gain wider adoption and then it moved under the ixsystems umbrella and failed entirelyfuck ixsystems for abandoning bsd
>>108260865FreeBSD has better proton support.
>>108260934I don't want to use FreeBSD
>>108260865I can only speak to experience in freebsdI got steam working and was able to play a couple games under 13 (and I think 14) ok ish but that was with steam installed as windows under the proton wrapper mizuma and with an nvidia card using their driversI was unable to replicate it under 15 when I last tried, one of these days I will give it another shot
>>108260943OK.
What's it gonna take for you to drive one of these BSD babies today?
>>108263136$10k.I'm not a loser but I'll roleplay one for the money.
>>108260913>that shit had a ton of bespoke trash that meant it deviated from freebsd too much to gain wider adoption and then it moved under the ixsystems umbrella and failed entirely>fuck ixsystems for abandoning bsdI agree, but it was the most popular way to test it. It is absurd for many that anyone would bet on Gnome of all projects to be the pillar for future development considering everything they do.
>>108264796MidnightBSD, NomadBSD and GhostBSD are easy to use and automate a lot of things for newbies.
>>108251360why the FUCK does every bsd thread need to have some cunt talking about "cuck license" don't like it then don't use it. Linux is unusable bloat dogshit and windows is dogshit too. FreeBSD is my comfy refuge and I heard they were adding rust? I remember once an anon post a rust "ls" implementation and it was like 20 fucking lines of code. FOR AN LS
>>108265418I meant 20K
>>108265418netbsd and openbsd are better than linuxnetbsd has zfs and lvm from linux if you'd like to try that
>>108266571s/linux/freebsd/freebsd is too much like linux.
>>108251360should I use BSD on desktop
Basedsisters, I just installed FreeBSD 14.3 with KDE Plasma on an Intel MacBook and the wifi won't work. But besides that, I'm having a bit of fun playing around with GNUStep. I like being able to write and compile objective c programs using LLVM which can run on both systems. It's interesting to abstract away the xcode build systems and write your own makefiles for obj c apps.
>>108266669Obj-C via GNUStep is pretty coolyou can mix it freely with C code but don't have to deal with C's obnoxious null-terminated "strings" as muchalso, why 14.3 if it's a recent installation? 15.0 came into production almost 3 months agoalso, post your wifi card info
>>108260913Cool. I'm misreading the page then. I read it as "use either pkg OR ports but not both".Same way AUR can cause potential problems on an Arch system.
bsd lost because csh / tcsh lost
>>108266642yes
>>108268035packages are built using ports; if I am using ports (to get a feature that is not enabled by default) I will pkg install all the dependencies to shorten the build time almost always>>108268059yeah, I set my shells back on new freebsd installs; I just sort of live with whatever openbsd defaults to though
>>108268334>whatever openbsd defaults to though/bin/ksh
>>108271400we have wedges now
>>108271497nice. how's the performance?
>>108271497dafuq is a wedge?googling wasn't especially helpful
>>108251360cool thred
>>108273987you need to get better at searching; from what I gathered by reading a page talking about it:for a gpt disk, instead of a single partition that is then split by disklabel (like openbsd does) netbsd will make multiple partitions that then appear like a partition that was split via disklabel
>>108273987The cryptographic device driver -- cgd(4) -- did not introduce any performance penalty for me. A cgd disk is capable of using either a BSD disklabel or a GUID partition table as the verification method; my current installation is using the latter.>>108273987https://mail-index.netbsd.org/current-users/2006/09/04/0005.html>Wedges are parts of a disk. They do not have partitions - for example>on this machine I'm typing this on I have /dev/dk0 and /dev/dk1 ->but there is no /dev/dk0a.>But wedges have no inherent corelation to some on-disk partition format,>like the disklabel which the old partition code used. Lots of magic/evil>code will disapear from the kernel once the wedge conversion is complete.In other words, wedges are partitions.
>>108274658interestingwedges sound like a useful abstraction
>>108274918That's the goal of wedges: to provide a hardware abstraction independent of the architecture. The BSD disklabel is still supported because compatibility is also important for NetBSD.
