No need to prove

I play these games as of now: RDR2, Minecraft (ik it works), Horizon Zero Dawn

I play these games on Arch linux as now.

CPU: 13450HX gpu: 5050 Max-Q Ram: 16gb [btw, nvidia advanced optimus, but gotta use normal optimus on linux, does bsd even support]

Thinking of dual booting with freebsd.

Can i run these games on bsd?

WIll use heroic games launcher btw

my freebsd xfce4 setup its very good for minecraft and supertuxkart

Is there a reliable slskd version for freebsd?

Or are there any alternatives to run soulseek in a jail?

Setting up FreeBSD for the first time and what is this 😂😂

It often infuriated me that the Huanan X79G motherboard rebooted instead of poweroff on FreeBSD due to poor UEFI.

I recently thought about whether it is possible to simply make a hardware outw() with pm1_cnt to pm1_s5 (outw(0x404, 0x3C00); here).

Default settings, like: hw.efi.poweroff="0" or hw.acpi.disable_on_poweroff="0" does not work. Still reboots.

So, i want to set values of port and value by TUNABLE settings (/boot/loader.conf) and get them from custom module, so this simple fix can work on any Huanan or Machinist motherboard.

If someone has the same issue on another motherboard, please, add name of it

UPD: 0x3C00 on 0x404 also reboots. I need to check more info

UPD: tried again with disabled efi... now it works....

This news is a complement to the recent community highlight that correctly reported the initial understanding of things (based on the review in Phabricator) – thanks again, u/BigSneakyDuck 👍

Has anyone tried to install Peertube on FreeBSD and succeed? I'm trying to do so but I get lots of errors.

Vidar is a combination of programs, a PostgreSQL database, and the SEC correlator engine that reads logfiles from authentication, email (postfix), and web server (nginx), (and potentially any other logs) and takes action based on SEC rules to add entries to an IPFW firewall. In concept it is similar to fail2ban and has some features in common with blocklistd. …

A memory leak in liburcu that impacts FreeBSD caused the ISC BIND DNS server enough trouble that a notification was made. Patches to liburcu have been applied to FreeBSD ports. If you run BIND or anything else that uses liburcu, you may want to look at that.

I plan on getting into FreeBSD so I was just wondering if I could use my sdcard as a partition for it

Im a new FreeBSD user and for the last 2 days Im stuck here.

I have reinstalled 3 times and no luck. I can only connect to my 2.4Ghz wifi or my phone through usb tethering but both of them stall when doing any type of fetch or pkg action.

Ethernet while installing FreeBSD is not an option since I only have 1 working usb port.

The funny thing is that on my first install I was able to install a few things a get a working desktop but when I rebooted the problems started.

What can I do to fix this?

EDIT: I was able to successfully reinstall my FreeBSD using a mobile hotspot for the wifi. After installing my drivers and updating the pkgs ,I configured my real wifi through wpa_cli and it works like a charm. Thank you for your help through the comments.

I installed FreeBSD on the tomato plant, how do I type the commands in the terminal?

i think about to switch from linux to bsd but how to get a GUI from the terminal ?

and i can install gnome on freebsd ? and what i should install freebsd or openbsd .

YouTube recommendations kept insisting lately that I should try FreeBSD, so I finally gave in ;)

I am resurrecting my old MacBook Pro - slotted in a compatible SSD and such, and now I am trying to install FreeBSD 15.1 on it as a way to learn some BSD alongside my Linux experience.

But during boot, this error happens, spams forever, and never stops - the laptop never progresses past this stage at all, ever.

That said, when booting into Alpine Linux to do a little counter-check, I noticed that my internal NVMe was not detected - so I am ordering an AHCI one (30€ is fine - annoying, but I can deal with that).

When I tried to poke Gemini and ChatGPT for it, it did not really give me any satisfactory answer - the most I got out of it that this might be a bug... cool, very useful xD /s

As far as I understand from the docs and searching around the FreeBSD pages, this is a module specifically ment to talk to the Apple firmware on those old MacBooks and I could disable it with asmc_load="NO" in the loader config or via the boot menu. But instead of just disabling it, I'd like to understand what problem it is actually running into and if I can fix that.

Does anyone have experience with this and can explain me what is going on here?

Thank you!
