  • (to op) you must flip your psu around as your cpu is going to cook it. The psu needs fresh intake air.

  • Great writeout, but also shows the challenges of having regular consumers adopt such systems.

    What is he talking about?

  • IMNSHO that ASRock mainboard is terrible. Worst mainboard I ever bought. It worked fine at first but got issues fast. Only one USB peripheral allowed or all the USB ports loose power, can do unaccelerated 2D but boots to a blank screen as soon as amdgpu loads... I think they've crammed too much features in a small form factor.

  • Long time FreeBSD user on and off, currently running 16-CURRENT on my desktop for GPU support. But fwget is a new one on me. I’m gonna try it later and see what it does for me.

    FreeBSD is really hard to keep up with the changes - i don’t know of a good source to keep up with what is considered the right way to do things anymore. Anyone know a good source? Linux is much better for blogs.

  • I read this and I feel mostly wonder. About a lot of things.

    But hey - I appreciate someone promoting FreeBSD for desktop and doing stuff just because he can. Good for him!

  • vermaden's contributions in making FreeBSD accessible to others is invaluable, as a Google search regarding some aspect of FreeBSD often includes results referencing his blog.

    Wayland on FreeBSD does work; combining it with KDE Plasma is quite usable.

    FreeBSD is great.
