Back in the day (1983), I was a junior Electronics Technician Third Class in the US Coast Guard. I was assigned to a very specialized unit in Alameda, CA. My involvement with computers included a Kaypro running CP/M and a proprietary computer for word processing. The Coast Guard used to inherit old equipment from the Navy and tossed out a DEC PDP 11. 😂 No one knew how to use it, so I was sent to the University of California at Berkeley for a four-month intensive BSD and PDP administration training. I was young and stupid 😂(now I am old and stupid) 😂😂😂. I have to say that it was not a cakewalk, but in a way, I had fun. After my three-year tour of duty, I was assigned to a LORAN C Station. I never used BSD nor had the chance to play with a PDP again. The closer to a DEC was accessing remotely a VAX for a couple of years. After that, I changed careers, entered the US Marshals, and retired on December 31, 2017. I have a Raspberry Pi400 gathering dust somewhere, so that I will try FreeBSD for the good old days. Stay safe 🙏.
I'm thinking of trying FreeBSD on my home computer too, mainly because of how poorly Linux handles out of memory situation. But I feel like I'm gonna have more troubles with drivers so the benefit won't be so great
I think you should try installing FreeBSD first to try it out and see if FreeBSD supports your computer's drivers, so you can see more clearly the benefits
Although Gnome is not a good choice to use in freebsd the alternative to linux imho is openbsd. Freebsd is also good maybe better because has more options. But i like all nosystemD oses available.
@@triagungbiantoro this is correct i would also add lumina as a light alternative where apps work too...btw xfce is lighter on nonsystemD linux i.e Void
It's all very interesting, but the user uses software and hardware, and does not admire the windows in the Gnome DE. I've been using FreeBSD with the KDE for many years and I'm still not satisfied with how Bluetooth and Wi-Fi wireless networks work in FreeBSD. In addition, I have not been able to connect my graphics tablet for drawing because there is no necessary driver for this device to work. I don't see any practical point in all this ostentation with graphical interfaces. This Gnome Desktop looks the same everywhere.
FreeBSD is not yet popular for use as a desktop compared to other Unix Like, Gnome here looks the same as other Gnome because it only wants to show that Gnome can indeed run on FreeBSD although not as optimally as on Linux. I recommend XFCE on FreeBSD for a better User Experience. Yes, the problems with Wifi and Bluetooth are still not satisfied.
please, can you post somewhere a tutorial for installing/configuring a freebsd desktop like yours? Some exist, but it is too old, for example for freebsd 11.2
I really want to use FreeBSD but the problem is that for some reason dhcp won’t do the resolver configuration and when I type in the information in I can’t connect to the internet 😭🙏

nice to hear a good experience, I'm new in FreeBSD and it's a great operating system to learn
OMG, LMAO 😂😂😂

i think, the best Desktop Environment in FreeBSD is XFCE, very light and many apps running well

yes, next i'll try to create video configure the desktop view
Lost vscode?
Yes, When update snappy to 1.2 version, pkg cannot find vscode

Have you checked your Router's DHCP?
/etc /resolv.conf
Remove # before nameserver
@@marcosAmaranteC Exactly what I did yesterday after installed FreeBSD 14.1 to fix the issue
@@winkdong ;)
I can understand why some people choose Linux instead of windows. But why BSD?
I use FreeBSD as daily driver because I am used to its usage. So I don't have much difficulty when operating a server with FreeBSD.
bc GNU/Linux community is a mess
