I was wondering why none of my #FreeBSD systems got the latest #nginx - so I searched... and it took me a good hour again to figure out that the OS is by default insecure; you need to actively change the repo settings in order to get recent software with bug fixes - latest instead of quarterly:

Change between `quarterly` and `latest` package set used by `pkg` tool in FreeBSD
The pkg tool in FreeBSD is usually set to draw upon either the quarterly or latest package set. The latest set may churn more often with updates, while the quarterly is meant to be more stable but ...

FreeBSD rescue(8) lacks instructions for users of root-on-ZFS:

Interesting to see that with the likes of Slackware and Gentoo there's some stuff to do, whereas FreeBSD enables network video playback ootb. Powerful.

Getting there. Obviously I had a headstart running it on Slackware. And FreeBSD has the best Wayland wm repos, bar none. Also: gnarly things in FreeBSD: bluetooth, how to get that Linux application running, Linuxalators et al, sound and keymappings. But the Handbook is superb, just work my way through it over the days.

On the FreeBSD front: volumekeys working. Sound output fixed. Ubuntu subsystem installed (installing the rpm of Filen didn't work, so I'm gonna have a go at the deb). Librewolf all good. This all took just around 35 minutes.
Then I spend around 2 hours jerking around with the waybar and alacritty configs, theming Gruvbox. Time well spent 😂 😆

In the end it has become MangoWM on FreeBSD. That was literally low hanging fruit, since I've been dabbling in it for a couple of months now, on Slackware. So, all that keybind and tags kind of stuff is basically all there, ready to use. Off we go!

Is there any specific explanation why KDE Wayland on FreeBSD uses so much RAM? 2.3 to 2.5 gb? For me personally it doesn't matter, all these discussions are beyond me, it's not 1972 anymore. But it is noticeable and I wonder why.

With all the love that OpenBSD is getting now (and rightly so!), and my good ol' Slackware KDE back on the main NUC, I feel the time is right to finally spent serious time in FreeBSD. Let's install it on the hybrid graphics laptop and use it as my daily work driver for the next month at least? I'll report about the trials and tribulations over here.
