    You can have user and group the same, in the prompt to invite the user to other groups, you can pick wheel and video there (space separated)

    I installed freebsd "no multilib" and it's lovely!

    Thank you for the video! I was wondering, is there any point to enable (both as an option and compiled into the kernel) DTrace support if you are not a developer and don't do debugging?

    As a linux user I am starting to use freebsd again. Right now I'm 90% linux and 10% freebsd. I use freebsd mainly as a desktop.

      Does everything works for you? Ie audio, video, wifi. Can you actually watch things like Netflix?

      How did it went after all these months? I was able to create a custom kernel and when 14.1 releases, I plan to use it on real hardware for the first time!

    Is there any point in installing lib32? I'd have thought it was only needed if you really wanted to run specific 32bit stuff.
    I've been playing a little with FreeBSD on an ancient Dell Inspiron 1525 laptop from 2008. I can run 13.2 but when I tried 14 it all ended in tears so 13.2 it is. Still won't do full functionality on the trackpad and the webcam is black magic that is totally beyond me but I did manage to compile and install the driver for the wifi card so, Yay?
    I may have a Raspberry Pi 3B+ that will soon be available for buggerising around with so I might give 14 a run on that. 🤞

    Does everything work as expected? Ie sound, wifi (if any), suspend/resume etc? Could you recommend a good desktop system to use with FreeBSD (and when I say use it means... all the hardware is recognised and actually works well!). Thanks and great channel!

    As long as a user is in wheel or staff they can use su by default. Neither need to be their login group. Valid for both 13 and later. If it wasn’t true earlier I don’t know when the requirement changed.

    It would be good to have a graphical installer, like un a Linux Mint for example. Most parameters are default, it seems the FreeBSD developers like the old fashion, making feeling to install old fashion distro 🤔 but we really don't need text installer, confusing new people, dns, ipv6, etc.
    It will be interesting to try FreeBSD
    Thank you 🎉

      What's wrong with a text installer? Less moving parts, less stuff to break.

      oh, personaly I hate graphical installers. Acctually I don't like any of graphical interfaces except from video games :D But TUI are minimalistic and pretty comfortable, for me. It's because all what I need to use a TUI - is my keyboard. So, I like, there are OS, that don't use this graphical mess (that is not so bad, acctualy. Just I don't like it)

    I installed 13 on my 2950 Threaddriper and RTX 2080 and it worked just fine all the way to desktop. Updates broke it thugh so I updated to 14 but that was a super struggle. It did not want to select the correct video driver. After, several tries I choose to install everything and that worked.

  • @MarkusHobelsberger

    You can absolutely use sudo or doas if your login group is not wheel. The login group should stay the group with the username by default for desktop systems. Just invite the user to wheel like you do with video and operator and you will be fine.

    I've got a Lenovo X1 Carbon G2 with Core i7 4th Gen and Intel HD 4400... Would anyone know if this hardware is fully supported.. Like would the browser have full Hardware Acceleration, Encode and Decode. Because under linux, my CPU runs at 100% when watching a TH-cam Video.

    Do you really need to Rufus your ISO on the thumb drive? I thought you can just copy the files over now (at least that works with windows ISOs these days as long as your thumb drive is GPT partitioned)

    I still think FreeBSD is the OS that god uses. I just wish it had much better compatibility with laptops. So I generally run it in a VM (typically virsh). But damn it is a beauty.

    It's missing the Linux magic of routing audio through the video driver to the HDMI port. Mint, KDE Neon, etc., produce sound out of the HDMI cable, FreeBSD does not.
