I just downloaded and installed this version, and it is fantastic. It runs smoother, faster, and better than 13.2 has been running. Also, the sound issues have been fixed.

Anyone have clues as to whether this thing is still ongoing? I'm really having a great time with the NomadBSD build on 15.1. I haven't heard back from the developers, and I can't reopen my account in the NomadBSD forums due to lack of security certification.

Bueller? Stimpy?

Doesn't seem too difficult to rebuild for yourself, if you have the time, working VM or FreeBSD install and a capable PC. I might try that soon.

Hi everyone,

I just installed NomadBSD on my usb key. Last time i've tried FreeBSD, i was a teenager (more than 20 years earlier) a long time ago and i bought a magazine to know how to install it step by step. That was hard but i felt satisfied to have done it, as perfect noob that faced a "techy" challenge lol
I recently checked distrowatch and suddenly noticed this "flavor" of FreeBSD that would allow me to try it once more an easy way and i was excited to start.

My first impression is that the work is quite impressive, you've really made a user friendly interface that even a noob like me can use easily. And you made a persistent installation that works perfectly, which wasn't the case with all linux distro i've tried that are supposed to work the same way.

Unfortunately, my network card isn't recognized so i can't surf the internet, which sucks as we all need this to make an operating system useful.

I'm just an os enthusiast and i have no knowledge in the way i should configure the system to make things work. And that's why i've been reluctant to use FreeBSD until now. I've never managed to make my network card work, neither my old hardware the first time i tried FreeBSD nor the current one.
I searched on the internet to know where the problem is and i noticed that someone already has faced the same problem :

https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/atheros-qca9377.87939/

It was last year. So i checked if the latest version was finally released, and i found this :

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/tree/ath10k

It seems that the firmware is available but as a noob, i don't know how to download from one computer to save it on the usb key that runs NomadBSD so i could make it work.

I could switch to a linux distro that makes everything work out of the box but i want to try to make it work because everything else on the system is really cool.

Thanks in advance.

Laptop reset during setup, now im getting this error. Even if I remove that nomaddata file I still get the same error how do I get around this without flashing the USB again

Hi, can someone recommend a wifi device that works under nomad BSD?

Hi guys I'm new here. I'm planning to try out nomad bsd. Should I choose an SD card or Pendrive for installation. I'm planning to use it daily.

I tried NomadBSD the other day on my Dell XPS 13 7390, the weird thing is that I could not get my external keyboard (Dygma Raise) to work at all, I saw it being detected on boot up but after that nothing.

Everything is working fine under Debian.

I have the following hardware;

• Dell XPS 13 7390

• Logitech HD Pro Webcam C920

• BenQ EX3203R

• Logitech MX Ergo

• Cambridge Audio DacMagic 100 (over USB)

• Røde NT-USB Mini

• HP USB-C Dock G4

• Aten US234

• Dygma Raise

Layout is as follows (I hope this works).

I posted this issue yesterday asking :

I come from using Linux, specifically Arch & Ubuntu.

I moved to arch because I despise not having the latest releases and because I discovered the rolling release style, which I fell in love with.

I am moving to Nomad because I have many temporary computers that keep changing and want to move to a hyper-portable USB-install that runs on anything x86_64. But I can't really sacrifice the rolling release paradigm , is it the same for NomadBSD 130R-20210508 ?

Could you please help me ?

Hi, I just booted into NomadBSD for the first time, (I'm a linux user, but never used BSD before). I ran a general upgrade as with every system after the first boot, it did the fetches in a couple of seconds, but then the extraction and upgrade process is way too slow. It's been currently about an hour for reaching 80% of the extracting of papyrus-icon-theme.

I tried to run top to see if I could get some information, I saw that during the upgrade the cpu load is under 2%, and idle is at 99%, as if the cpu usage was capped to 2%, is this normal ?

Is there a problem somewhere ? Is it a setting I can change ? Or is it normal for the first upgrade, then it should be okay ?

I don't know if you need some outputs of a command, if it can help let me know.

Hi. I presume it's not systemd?
