    I really tried hard to make my Meteor Lake GPU work under #FreeBSD 15.No luck. Tried:1. drm-66-kmod2. drm-latest-kmodCompiled from:1. master2. 6.6-lts3. drm-v6.74. drm-v6.85. drm-v6.9Either garbage on screen or kernel panic. Or both ๐Ÿ˜–Any good souls with other ideas ?

    @stefano This is indeed a great post. Refreshing to read - the author didn't distro-bash but instead highlighted how needs were met.I have been leaning toward #FreeBSD after 20 years on #Debian, which has a special place in my heart. However, FreeBSD's *consistency*, elegant design, and better documentation are driving factors and I just can't look away. Over these two decades, Linux has definitely changed. It's no longer what it once was: a #Unix clone. It's evolved into its own thing. Software does that and that's OK. But a lot of the changes or "improvements" have been needlessly reinventing the wheel with a worsening user experience and convoluted results. The audio subsystems (ALSA -> PulseAudio -> Pipewire and of course the mess that is/was JACK) and #SystemD are two big examples.On SystemD, I don't disagree that Linux needed a modern init system. SystemD is faster, but from a human perspective it's worse. I am now typing *more* characters to manage services. Is there a reason why it couldn't be designed to manage services like:> $SERVICE start/stop/restartInstead, we are left with:> systemctl $SERVICE start/stop/restartBut I digress.#TBT I fell in love with FreeBSD when I first started my Linux journey in the mid-2000s, but only dabbled in it as it was never in any production environment I managed.I have a FreeBSD VM sitting in my lab somewhere but due to other factors rarely do I get to it. I'm thinking it's time I grab a spare laptop, load it up, and use it as a daily driver to really force myself to learn it.

    I'm sooo proud of my first contribution to the #FreeBSD #Ports tree.

    I'm sooo proud of my first contribution to the #FreeBSD #Ports tree. Although it were only 3 characters. Although I don't understand what @dvl is apologizing for -- "I'm sorry, I did not mention this PR in the commit message."The only things I needed was an account at bugs.freebsd.org and this short chapter from the Porters Handbook. Wish I had time for getting more involved.https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/porters-handbook/upgrading/#git-diff

    And I should add - * we are making final tweaks to labs and slides still* we will be covering #FreeBSD 14 as well as #OpenBSD, with labs supporting both.You could see the session as a Book of PF, 4th edition preview, however physical copies will not yet be available at the conference, see https://nxdomain.no/~peter/yes_the_book_of_pf_4th_ed_is_coming.html (also https://bsdly.blogspot.com/2025/07/yes-book-of-pf-4th-edition-is-coming.html) #bookofpf
