Okay, folks — I've updated to the #FreeBSD 15.0 on my #Thinkpad X220
The process itself completed without any problems — I used freebsd-update as usual. After first reboot (kernel updated, userspace not updated) I met the strange blinking of display, while the second "freebsd-update install" was running in the text console. But after update was fully completed, this "problem" was gone.
After update, i915kms refused to load, system says that it is already loaded or compiled into the kernel. So, there are no graphical interface (possibly I should run "pkg update" or install drm-kmods from FreeBSD-kmods repository
)And there are no networking with iwm and Intel AC 8260 (possibly, it's time to finally switch to iwlwifi, lol)

Ugh, "pkg upgrade" says that I should download 10 GB of updates for packages
Where is my Ethernet cable?!

Okay, after "pkg upgrade" I got my graphical drivers and Xorg back!
Sound works, GUI works.
I was using the iwm driver for my Intel AC 8260 — and after update it stopped initialize and wlan0 interface couldn't be added to the my aggregate interface lagg0.
Before, I was using iwm driver, not the iwlwifi, because the second could not be added to the lagg0 (it showed some cryptic error about SIOC80211). But after update tables turned — and my WiFi interface could be added to the aggregate interface with iwlwifi driver.
Couldn't say that WiFi speeds dramatically changed in comparison with 14.3 — I see the same numbers as before in my experiments with iwlwifi in 14.3.
Sadly, the problem with waking up laptop still exists — most of the times it works, but sometimes the CPU fan starts to spin for a second and after some time system powering off with message "CPU temperature is too high, shutting down" in the console
Possibly, something in my system is misconfigured and overloads the CPU after wake up. -

@evgandr@mastodon.bsd.cafe The iwlwifi driver requirement has been in place since 13.1, it also has annoyed me back then.
There isn't a lot that can be done about it now -

@lymenzies It is AwesomeWM (https://awesomewm.org/) — it is configurable with Lua and has some batteries included. My configuration: https://codeberg.org/evgandr/dotfiles/src/branch/master/utils/awesome/.config/awesome

I had no idea awesomewm could look like that. Thanks for sharing the dotfiles.

@evgandr FreeBSD is so insanely fast that causes relativistic Lorentz contraction on disk space!
