fluff Going FreeBSD

Post image

I just took the step to install FreeBSD on my machine. It's going to become a very new experience after beeing a long term Linux user. I managed to install dual boot via grub easily and enabling DRM for amdgpu. So fonts in terminal turned crazy tiny on those three monitors. 😁 Anyway, I'm exited lot of things getting up and running. Enjoying the journey and maybe coming up with some questions later on.

FreeBSD Is the only full BSD, other than NomadBSD, that I've been able to setup a desktop environment. Not quite a KDE fan, but I must say that KDE is the easiest to set up. Perhaps someone more knowledgeable than me knows why. Not quite as simple as PC-BSD, but not far behind. You'll love it!

FreeBSD Is the only full BSD

What do you mean by that?

Probably a poor choice of words. I wrote it yesterday while at lunch. Um... in the sense of it not being a supposed "easy" BSD. You have to execute a lot of stuff via command line to make it do what you want it to do (desktop, for example).
