Because I'm blabbering so much about Linux: rest assured, FreeBSD KDE on my work laptop and Mango FreeBSD at home are still humming along nicely. Mango though will be replaced with River-classic. My mango on Slackware is so good, there's no need for a second install. And, mind you, that install is on that 65 dollar i5 from 2016 and it works great 👍🏻
#freebsd
uh, just found #freebsd #librewolf 152.0.2-1 has buggy #tabstop behaviour - pressing TAB doesn't reliably jump to the first visible tabstop if scrolled down a bit.
That working day couldn't have a better start with the MS Office 2013 tabs returning, in LibreOffice 26.8.2 on FreeBSD 🥳
#freebsd
What the last couple of days have shown me is that, with some help from rclone, FreeBSD has become a truly viable alternative for my D2D for me. A triumvirate of Slackware, Chimera Linux and FreeBSD gives me everything I need and want, both in work and in private. A big relief.

I'd like my next job to have something more than Linux, yes, I'm looking at your FreeBSD.

Nushell in Tokyo. That ThinkPad for work is ready also, after the FreeBSD Mango desktop. KDE on FreeBSD has come a long way. Dots and howto to follow later on, but it was painless.

I have now installed #FreeBSD on
-- a Dell Latitude 5320
-- a T430
-- a Poweredge R540
and it's remarkably easy. I've got Wayland and LibreOfficeworking cheerfully on the laptops. The server took a little more fiddling because of its own weird hardware issues, but I'm setting up jails for all sorts of things. Refreshingly easy. I really missed BSD. Glad to be back.
Yep, there we have it! The repo has been updated and all is well. Included are nice new tools like fresh-editor, rio-terminal, the yazi filemanager and nushell, just to spice up that learning curve 😜 Also included some themes, fonts and walls to start off nicely themed. Go get your mango on FreeBSD!
#freebsd
I do not appreciate finding out via active breakage that Broadcom has decided to screw all #FreeBSD users of the #Salt configuration management tools. Not that I’m shocked, but I wish it didn’t happen because of a ‘pkg upgrade’ run installing the python 3.12 version and all of its py312-* dependencies and then…
On a different note: the first day of FreeBSD'ing was nice. Of course the windowmanager setup with Mango and Wayland needs some more attention at first (default sound, pipewire etc. you get it), but that KDE rocks already. An advantage of a DE: lock, stock and barrel included (mostly). In the workday all went smooth, including Joplin and Signal. Good stuff!

I'd never expect to have that much fun configging a terminal. I mean, aside from a new fastfetch config that is 🤣 Both on FreeBSD, in my Hyprland config.
#freebsd #rioterminal
Yes. So, when I got Hyprland going on FreeBSD, there was more to learn.
Decided to use ashell as a bar, rio-terminal, wezterm, nwg-drawer, walker or good ol' rofi, neovim, you name it🤣 Rust and lua.
The curious mind can be a burden, as well as a pleasure 😄
It'll take some more time, but everything is up and running. Having a great time!
#freebsd
The repo troubles aside (latest is not fully back for me), hyprland on FreeBSD turned out to be the Turd show I expected it to be. A quick glance at the forums showed me I'm not the only one. With excellent alternatives like mango available it's time to move on. One final go at it tomorrow.morning.
Btw, the first time I had to weed through large numbers of completely useless AI slop guides. Speaking of a pile of shiite 💩
Nice, #Bumsrakete works on a #FreeBSD 15.0 system.
