Forgot to post on yesterday evening... Upgraded my GhostBSD install from #KDE #Plasma 5.27.11 to 6.3.2.... smooth upgrade and all is well.

That was fun and satisfying BSD Sunday.

I fixed a Lenovo T520 and setup #GhostBSD for a friend, so he can start right out of the Box ...and of course get's the BSD Virus §8-)

Everything works nicely like it should. Sound had to be configured, because the volume was too silent.

So, mixer pcm=1.0 did the trick on my side too.

Besides that, it just runs wonderful smooth with a old 256GB SSD and 8GB of RAM.

This Notebook is so old and it runs superb!
Once more I thought about how ressources are wasted these days.

Made another friend happy to tinker with the FreeBSD world. I'm sure I can "assimilate" him hehe...

Next project: I would like to use #FreeBSD with the "#Herbstluft #WM Oh my, so much to do, so less time §8-)

damne, mi amegas FreeBSD!

interese, kiom da esperantistoj uzas BSD-operaciumon? supozeble, ne tro multe..
mi malkovras pli kaj pli multe da novaj elementoj de la sistemo dum ĉiutaga uzado; post preskaŭ 24 jaroj nur kun Linukso (plejparte Slackware, Debian), GhostBSD estas mia ĉefa operaciumo..

#Poll: are you "dog-fooding" #BSD?

Unlike previous polls () I have tried really hard to make sure the options make sense. Select the lowest item in the list that is true for you:

Of the ten options, the first four are for those that don't use BSD regularly (let's say at least once per week).
The fifth option ("VPN/server") is for someone who uses BSD on a server they manage, but don't have physical access to.
The sixth ("at work") through eighth ("secondary laptop/desktop") is for those who regularly use some variant of BSD, but not as a primary daily driver.
The ninth and tenth options are for "dog-fooding"

Oh, right, and I'm sorry, but it really must need be said: MacOS, iOS, and other Apple products do not count. Sorry again. I will count any FOSS BSD-like OSes like #OpenIndiana, though.
I will also count retro commercial Unixes, if you're actually daily-driving them. ;)

I'm pleased to announce that my company, Prodottoinrete Group SRL, will be a BRONZE SPONSOR of EuroBSDCon 2025.

The organizers do a great job managing everything, and the least we can do is offer a (small) contribution to help the conference maintain the current standards, which, in my opinion, are extremely high.

So, a big thank you to the organizers, the speakers, and everyone who contributes to making this event so great.

For anyone interested in #FreeBSD on the desktop #GhostBSD is planning a virtual conference.

Playing around with the live #GhostBSD iso to see what works and what doesn't. I knew my AX200 WiFi wouldn't be full speed and I get 19Mbps by 4.26Mbps on my 1Gb by 110Mb connection. It's not a deal breaker as WiFi is only used when I take my laptop out and it is useable. Most of the time it's connected by cable so full speed.
All sound works onboard and HDMI, I haven't tried the Prometheus fingerprint reader as yet as I don't use it in Linux. Suspend using zzz seems to work OK without issue too. Tried everything to get sound out of my gen 1 Scarlett 6i6 but it is having none of it, but I did expect that as researched earlier. Dropping to a 2i2 isn't a problem really. I need to think some more about this.

POLL: Which BSD do you use on your desktop?

Longer description:
If you're using a #BSD on your #desktop, #laptop, or #mobile/#embedded (not server-only), which BSD?
Please comment if you're using multiple, or if you're using a different BSD or derivative not listed in the poll.

Kindly #Boost for more exposure, as I don't anticipate encountering a lot of users of BSD on the desktop.

#FreeBSD, #OpenBSD, #NetBSD, #DragonflyBSD, #GhostBSD
