    Update for #nvidia #GPU #driver #ports on #FreeBSD to 580.95.05 landed as commit 7b1c88f42c7f4129bc96f405549f9e6b07bd6e3d. https://cgit.freebsd.org/ports/commit/?id=7b1c88f42c7f4129bc96f405549f9e6b07bd6e3dWe were pending it as kmod pkg repo still didn't have nvidia things and bapt was looking into it, but as of this information https://nvidia.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/5703the commit was done without waiting for the reply from bapt.#FreeBSD is not entitled there, but as #FreeBSD native #drivers are known to shares most source codes with corresponding Linux versions, FreeBSD can be affected, too. So users of non-legacy versions of driver ports are strongly encouraged to upgrade.With this reason, the commit is already merged into 2025Q4, as security fix is one of the branket approval by portmgr and secteam. https://cgit.freebsd.org/ports/commit/?h=2025Q4&id=067be176997589baacd63c5e5db1981d3949cdb1Note that oldest branch listed is 535.

    Day two of using #freebsd again.The resolution of the wifi issue was as simple as pressing the enable radio button on the keyboard. Good thing I read the messages on startup this time.After quite a bit of struggle I've gotten wayfire going (with an old nvidia card no less). The other challenge I faced is while Sway or Wayfire would launch, I couldn't run anything. No foot, alacritty, no dmenu, wayfire's bar would crash, the swaybar had boxes for icons. This took me much longer than I would like to admit to solve.Somehow it's possible on Freebsd to install all of this and not install a font. in one sense I appreciate the modularity. Sometimes on Linux I've felt like one little tool brings with it an entire desktop environment and a GB of software. This might be on the extreme other end. Added doas, rofi, firefox and started tweaking the interface. I haven't figured out the startup splash screen yet, or how to launch sddm or something like it on startup. But that's coming.Back years ago I never had a computer that could run Compiz. So I get to relive some of those aspirations with Wayfire. The effects are neat without being terribly annoying. The laptop I'm using was made in 2008 or 2009. And quite remarkably it does not feel slow at all. The genie effect is faster than any Mac when the Dock had that option. The cube rotates smoothly.And most surprising, launching Firefox seems almost instant. I had a dozen tabs open and not a glitch, even watching a YouTube video and swapping screens with the cube effect.I think I've managed to get this working without introducing many Linux-isms or the Linux ABI. I use Linux a lot, but I wanted something a bit more purely BSD for this machine.
