Anybody know a workaround for rtw88 RTL8822CE support in #FreeBSD14 ?
I have set mem_limit=1 tunables in loader.conf, restarted and have verified it via sysctl after reboot but I still can’t use WiFi

Nice bug story here. Nice side effect for a simple sort change (spoiler)

I will refrain from looking up who decided that #FreeBSD needed to lose a magic comment line from every init script and config file but didn’t need etcupdate (or whatever we're calling mergemaster now) to understand that change as a no-op, because if I were to identify that person I would feel compelled to find them and extract my wasted time from the front end of their remaining lifespan.

I finally managed to migrate over to #SDDM in #FreeBSD.
It turns out I was missing pam_xdg package. LightDM would not allow me to switch tty after logging in. SDDM is fine with it though :)
I also learned about devd and configured it for laptop lid close event. It was easier than I th…

It turns out pam_xdg will set appropriate XDG_RUNTIME_DIR as needed.
When I installed this pkg for sddm login, I simply deleted my shell script and commented out xorg code which triggered it.

So I have been very very unsuccessful in setting up SDDM but I got lucky with LightDM
As it turns out I still need to learn how to “enable” Wayland support.
Yesterday I learned I had to kldload amdgpu for my AMD iGPU to kick in.
This is a new journey as a FreeBSD beginner with some Linux knowledge
