This is another gem, for sure! While this worked for me (VMWare on Apple M1 Pro) clicking was not working I added "ums_load="YES"" in /boot/loader.conf and it worked, now I can click haha! Thanks for making these videos!
EndlessOS eats these for breakfast. You won't find a more user-friendly distro.
Great video, I was considering FreeBSD for a production server which would need to run Postgres, docker and also support an Nvidia GPU and also Cuda and Cdunn for machine learning inferencing tasks - i am fed up distro hopping and have been bouncing between Redhat EL 9.4, Debian and Ubnutu... I like the idea of FreeBSD and am/was strongly considering it but it seems that ML is not really well supported on FreeBSD - am i wrong on this? as this will be a show stopper if so... i need to be able to locally install the latest version of Postgres and run docker images and python ML code on the platform - give this what are your thoughts?
Tysm it worked I almost pulled my hair out XD
Rob and others, I put GhostBSD on a virtual machine, mostly because I am fond of Maté. Not being in the tech biz, I find myself just treating it like any Linux distro. This may be fine, but if there is anything I can do that is particular to BSD, I'd like to know

As a FreeBSD user, I've found Flatpaks to be a game-changer. They're perfect for those running Debian Stable or Ubuntu LTS, offering a stable base system with rolling application updates. This prevents accidental system component removal due to dependency issues. Flatpaks also share dependencies within SDK versions, making them similar to jails on a base system. While not all apps need it, GUI apps benefit greatly. AppImages offer a similar level of convenience. Security and convenience have an inverse relationship. Flatpaks address Linux distribution fragmentation. Imagine a minimal Gentoo system with a basic KDE or GNOME environment, running binary applications from Flatpak for urgent tasks. Even if you prefer compiling, Flatpak can be used simultaneously. This aligns with practices on Windows, macOS, HaikuOS, NixOS, and GoboLinux. FreeBSD doesn't need Flatpaks yet, but it could. Flatpaks rely heavily on cgroups, a Linux-specific feature. While many apps fail to compile on FreeBSD due to lack of upstream support or maintainers, Flatpak like solutions could offer a solution. Running graphic-intensive apps in a VM isn't ideal, and setting up a Linux chroot is complex. Many upstream system components from freedesktop.org are becoming incompatible with FreeBSD, but compatible with Linux and Windows. Even the Firefox port for FreeBSD has numerous patches, more than HaikuOS. FreeBSD forum members are NOT elitist at all, more like Ubuntu forum actually these days. The real issue of FreeBSD is in lack of hardware support - something that even OpenBSD got right.
Regarding WiFi: No issues "during the installation" setting this up. The WiFi cards I use are the intel AX210 and intel's AX200. They are cheap to buy and easy to install on older hardware. Two Connection types to choose from are available. Great cheap WiFi 6 , bluetooth upgrades for older PC's and Lap Tops.
Useful to know...!
Hello all, wishing all are well. I'm new to FreeBSD, approx a week and a half new. I really like it and appreciate what is available greatly, especially for free. So thank you FreeBSD. During this journey, the handbook has been great, however I have not been able to find all solutions I'm curious about regarding the pcmanfm file manager for LXQt on a fresh install? Question: I see a dialog box informing of: "operation not supported" when trying to asses files outside of my home directory and not sure if a better solution is available to what I chose to use? The Gnome virtual file system "gvfs" installation allowed access via the pcmanfm file manager view other system files, which worked ?? I did try other file managers like Yazi and even eaglemode which both work well in the open box environment, however pcmanfm does not, only in LXQt ??
Have you enabled dbus in your /etc.rc,conf? And in your .xinitrc, what line do you use to start your LXQt?
@@RoboNuggie Thank you for the reply. Yes dbus is enabled in rc.conf and my .xinitrc starts LXQt with no issues, (for that I used> % echo 'ck-launch-session /usr/local/bin/startlxqt' > ~/.xinitrc <within the terminal). Just not sure why pcmanfm could not access other directories out side of my home directory prior to installing gvfs? From what I have read on forums, others don't seem to have as much trouble using thunar. It's quite a mystery for myself, considering LXQt uses pcmanfm for it's file manager by default. To clarify: all directories became accessible, after installing gvfs within the LXQt logged in environment. However, if logged in within the Open box session, the only directory I can access is my home directory using Pcmanfm. If I use Yazi as the file manager, there is no issues accessing other files, outside of my home directory. Other folks have had similar issues on Linux as well. ?

I installed freebsd on a Lenovo X270 laptop, which should be working. Sadly WiFi did not work, but by looking through the forums I found that I had to edit /etc/wpa_suppliant.conf and /etc/rc.conf with info I got from sysctl. After that WiFi worked. The driver was there, all had I to do was tell freebsd about it by editing two .conf files. Nice!
Thanks for the video. Long but not boring. I like FreeBSD even I do not run it on my computer. I try to keep informed about FreeBSD because I have the hope to make the switch one day. At the moment I run Linux (OpenSUSE). I don't like Linux (to be correct its the GPL-licens) because of it's communist approach of taking away individual freedom for collectiv freedom, but I did fall in love with AppImages. The reason that I didn't use FreeBSD in 2018 on my new computer when I wanted to abadone Windows was simply, I wasn't able to get Skype to run. I tried NomadBSD an it was awesome. Instant love. But I needed Skype. Running Skype in Chromium didn't let my use the webcam for some reason... I made a short journey from Manjaro (couple of days) over ArcoLinux (couple of years; I liked it and only a faulty update of GRUB which led to a bootloop I wasn't able to fix even with how to's made me abadone Arch at all) to now finally openSUSE (tumbleweed - yes I didn't learn from my rolling release distro problems I had with Arch^_^). Now I don't need Skype anymore (still use it but only as long as my install still works. I will NOT install the SNAP on my computer just for Skype. I hope Microsofft will bankcrupt, such a sh*tty company) and could make the switch to FreeBSD but there is no AppImage support or any similar to AppImage for FreeBSD (as far as I could find). I could be without my AppImages ... but they are so handy. It's a shame the Linux community tries everyone to get to flatpak. Flatpak is just another package manager but compatible with every distro without hassle. I can put my AppImages on a USB-Stick an have them everywhere I go with my settings. So handy.. However, enough ranting. RoboNuggie, again - many thanks for all your past videos and upcoming videos about FreeBSD. It's so widely used but still underrated and not yet there for compatibility. I want FreeBSD for my RK3588-board!
Hi Christopher ! Thanks for the video ! FreeBSD is great for the things that make it great! Some things are easier/better done on a Debian linux machine for me, other things like Fileserving and storage there is no equal to ZFS on FreeBSD . I still love FreeBSD for it's structure and stability !
The pragmatic side of me agrees wholeheartedly that something are easier or better done in Debian etc, but the, oh-so stubborn side of me says NO, this is the hill you chosen.... especially when it comes to the desktop side of things.... I think it's old age starting to kick in..... :-)
one thing you have to keep in mind is to never mess around partition the drive especially if you're going to remove data from it to create for swap space. UFS behaves differently than EXT filesystem
Oh yes, completely agree.....
I have problems with realtek 2.5gbit network driver
That's very useful.... I've noted that down for suture reference!
I had problems to connect WiFi with FreeBSD. I needed only for the installation of the Ethernet driver... So I used my smartphone. I connected the cable, enabled WiFi and tethering in the smartphone, created the interfaces and connected through DHCP. 😌
Nice....there is always a way :-)
I have a Lexmark printer at home and I can use it at home with FreeBSD hassle-free.
Now that's a brand I haven't used for many years.....
You are the best (into & around BsD) Cheers from Greece
Thank you :-)
Is there a way get cx_supported to include newer C states than 3? Even on FreeBSD 14 I am only seeing S3 as the newest. Setting cx_lowest to C8 doesn't help lower watts used by the system any more than C3 for me on an Intel 8500t. (I see a 2 watt drop going from C1 to C3 through)
I can't answer that, but have a look at these links, I have a feeling they will help :-) lobste.rs/s/sxl1yv/tuning_laptop_power_consumption_on vermaden.wordpress.com/2018/11/28/the-power-to-serve-freebsd-power-management/
What about using Ports and compile Kernel...? Thank you! ✌🏽
I did a kernel video way back in 2017 .... ruclips.net/video/0EaNUyu1JP0/видео.html And ports.... do you know, I don't think I have done a video specifically on this.... I can't believe that.... so, thank you - that is one I will have to do :-)
Don't you use sudo or doas commands...? Thank you! ✌🏽
I do use doas, sometimes..... perhaps not as much as I should - and I suppose it is laziness, that when doing multiple commands in root, I tend to use "su -", Bad habit I suppose :-)
WiFi!!! Wayland hardly works. The handbook chapter on wayland is just about worthless.
Wifi I agree completely - I can work, but it can be hit & miss and mostly on older standards. Wayland? Not tried that, so I can't say - but I suppose FreeBSD won't be fully supporting that until they have to :-)
It's missing "vendor support". 99% of the time whoever wrote software X did not do it with consideration to BSD, and there are no binaries provided (or pkg or a port or anything). Even the source code usually has to be hacked on to get it to work. I wanted to try a new browser earlier (Zen), just because. No binaries of course, no ports, so I got the source code to compile it... and of course one of the libraries it depends must be compiled manually (npm explicitly states automated build on FreeBSD is not supported). And of course that library has no ports, has no BSD support, and of course it doesn't compile. After trying for about an hour I just gave up. Last time I wanted to install VSCode I had to build it from ports. Took 10h on a octacore system with 64gb of RAM, and used up 100GB of space in the process. I wonder how long that would take on my old quadcore laptop with 8GB of RAM and 120GB of total storage. Assuming I even had 100GB of free space on it. The port also had to be hacked to make it compile on FreeBSD of course (big thanks to the maintainer there). Speaking of maintainers, that's another thing... The entire ports ecosystem relies on random people doing their best effort, in their own time, sometimes with their own money and hardware. There's a bunch of ports out there completely abandoned with no maintainer. I wonder how that impacts security fixes, when the ports maintainer is on vacation and can't make a new port available... All fine and dandy maybe if you like hacking and compiling stuff all day long, but I unfortunately don't have time for this in my life between work and family affairs. I think it's lacking such support because the FreeBSD Foundation isn't putting any real effort into making it a usable desktop OS for "regular people". And I guess that's fine, because the majority of people they cater to are in the server market, but it's a shame to see such a great OS barely hang on to ~0.3% market share (server+desktop combined). Imho, the Foundation isn't doing enough for community around FreeBSD, it isn't doing enough to get hardware and software vendors to care about BSD, nor does it do enough to "spread the word" about FreeBSD and its technologies. And it's a shame, because bhyve is amazing, jails are amazing, it has container support nowadays thanks to xc, etc etc etc. I mean for god's sake the people at the Foundation, when giving their talks, don't even use FreeBSD. They are all on Macbooks.
Sorry for the late reply.... Vscode is now available as a package, so that will speed things up... I agree on all your points - it can be and is frustrating to say the least to see things not changing on the desktop front when all around other OS's are.... I've expressed my frustrations at the Foundation, but who am I? I don't code, I'm not a developer or on the board.... I have many ideas, have made quite a few videos giving examples etc.... The sad thing is, FreeBSD isn't cutting it on the desktop front, it's not anywhere on the phone front, it's losing server mindshare.... it is doing well on game consoles, and in corporate backrooms... but at the end of the day, is that enough? In the mean time, I soldier on, do my bit to promote...and who knows, maybe things will turn around....
A point-click installer ala Calamares.
An interesting idea....
How does FreeBSD compare to SCO System 5 or Sun Solaris? Does FreeBSD come in a server and workstation version, or is it all one operating system, where modules are added?
Sorry for the late reply (you have probably forgotten you asked this...lol): I don't know how it compares but I can tell you FreeBSD comes as a barebones, complete OS. Picture it as Debian without all of the userland etc...
@@RoboNuggie I remembered asking when I read your reply. I have not used Debian before, but I'm not clear what "barebones" and "complete" actually mean. Examples, Does FreeBSD come with a shell? Does it come with a GUI? Does it come with a file manager? Does it come with a bare-metal backup program? Is there a list of compatible software available?
The problem with OpenBox is that if you configure it (a lot of work) to have all the features XFCE has, you get on the similar RAM usage. So what is the point? Might as well install XFCE with all the features out of the box, maintained by team.
What do you think of Solaris/OpenIndiana's "Image Packaging System"? It makes heavy use of ZFS features
Thanks master you tutorial it need for conf my desk in freebsd Thanks master

tesseract-data should install by default; its a runtime dependency. if you can reproduce that not happening then please open a PR if one doesn't already exist. Been a while since I used it but it used to work better with more specific input to get the characters to a more optimal size for its trained model. Results should be verified as some correction is usually necessary and page formatting is not kept. Some PDFs that are photographs of text have used OCR to add an invisible layer of text on top of the photo which is why you can search and copy from it but why search will sometimes fail and why pasted cotent sometimes doesn't match. graphics/ocrad would be an alternative that some may be interested in checking out. Cleaning up images, and preferably getting down to just text helps further with any OCR results. graphics/unpaper is a handy scanned page cleanup tool. I used to do less straight forward cleanup using GREYCstoration, which has since become graphics/cimg though I'm not sure of the capabilities that have been gained/lost or how it is used now by comparison; gotta learn it someday as greycstoration download links are gone and I don't think my last downloads I still have were up to date. Now that text is finished, will a part 2 covering converting images to vector art be made next? Doing so allows for edges that don't blur/dither at varying zooms and may express the original using less space depending on complexity. graphics/potrace is a command line tool for such task and available through the gui vector art editor inkscape. When going down the route of svg you may learn of svgz which is just a zipped svg; its nice as many programs handle it as a standard file format but there are better compressors available and if you have many svg(z) files they will take a LOT less space if all stored as a svg and zipped together at once for storage/transport. I remember a several hundred meg archive for kde graphics had many svgz files in it which lead to a 300MB+ download where I think it was <30MB if zipping all of them as svg together. Avoiding multistep extract+recompress workflow could be achieved using software like precomp (not in ports tree). Haven't looked back into it but found that mess many years ago when the FreeBSD ports tree kept downloading that file multiple times instead of downloading it once and reusing it on my system.

I love your FreeBSD videos and tutorials! I hope you continue producing them.
Thank you, I most certainly will continue,..
Amazing video! I'm a new user of GNU/Linux after the mess Windows made, but I ended up on FreeBSD, seeing if it's possible to install Wayland and Wayfire (just because I enjoy seeing that desktop and window animation, not for any special reason). As a novice with these systems, I don't really think it will be very useful, but it's for a generic laptop "kiano", with an i3-5005u, which doesn't have many upgrade options, so I was thinking of setting it up permanently. For some strange reason, this computer is running very poorly, and I can't add RAM or anything (everything is soldered). I thought that reaching this level might offer better performance, since Debian with XFCE seems really unattractive to me. Thank you for sharing your knowledge, liked and subscribed.
Thank you for your kind words and sub!
You should take another look at Chimera, they have made a lot of progress since 2 years ago.
Do you know if GhostBSD has a screen magnifier like Ubuntu or Windows?
Sorry for the late reply, I think Kmag should be available......
@@RoboNuggie Don't worry, I appreciate your response
of note: freebsd and nomadbsd are both freebsd and both pull from the freebsd repositories. ghostbsd is a version and only pulls from the ghostbsd repositories. this is why i tell friends to not use it.
thank you for sharing!
Do you have an harder way ?
