I liked freebsd 6.1circa 2008!
It comes with gnome,kde twm,fvwm and maybe some other desktops,and has a better partition manager them the current version.Although it is probably to old and limited for huge terabyte drives to format!
Version 12 or 11,It will not let me partition my drive my way,and if you use the auto install it takes the whole drive!
That's too much on a 1 or larger terabyte drive!
Not what I wanted .
I want a small os install,a large var or web space to run web pages or massive email server.Further to that I do not like the UUID disk identifier,prefer the old ssd/sda,sdb,sdc drive system etc!
Can it be reset to that blkid?
Freebsd 6.1 is a 32 bit os!Version 11 or 12 requires one to be online for a pkg and gui install !not everyone is online!
I used my cell phone or wifi on laptop to download version 11.
Pkg manager should come installed along with a gui and a better partition manager like gparted for freebsd!
Version 12 will not work on a Dell r240 server for some reason! I can't get past install or format part,I don't use checksum maybe that's the problem!
I've never bothered to figure out how to use checksum and downloads are usually fine without it, and I cant see a man in middle attacking an os download!
I hope Freebsd.org reads my comments as they seem out of touch with users and I don't see a comment page,have to go check!
Why has freebsd.org not included a desktop and pkg manager?

I've been trying so hard to use Freebsd as my main OS this and every time I've failed miserably.
I only have a WiFi card that works but it's from 2007 and it sucks, my other 6 WiFi cards are not supported.
I don't seem to have any luck with either the radeonkms or the amdgpu modules since I don't have GPU acceleration working, although this might be 100 percent my fault cause I might be doing something wrong.
Also there's the hassle from having a display manager.
Support forums are not exactly helpful since 50 percent of the text is just complaints lol.
It's not like I don't understand it, in fact it kinda feels like Arch in many ways so I feel right at home.
I might give OpenBSD a chance since at least this one has a display manager that doesn't suck according to many people.
Honestly the idea of BSD just feels right compared to Linux but it sucks that lacks the adoption (which is kinda funny cause this is how Linux feels compared to Windows sometimes).

Freebsd developers are idiots. If they're going to promote the operating system, they have to think about how people can easily install it, but they develop their own operating system without thinking about it. Some say the mac os is mixed with freebsd, but it's not more than just mixed. The two operating systems are completely different operating systems. Freebsd developers must recognize how arrogant they are. Ubuntu is not such an easy operating system. However, the installation method is very easy. But freebsd doesn't even know how to make a boot disk. Although i have installed several operating systems, i cannot install an operating system that is affiliated with BSD. Am I the problem? Are they the ones who made this difficult?

Any UNIX derived system can be used for whatever purpose the end user has for it.
Once you install any variant of Linux or BSD, you have free reign over the whole system.
There are no real 'server' or 'desktop' UNIX systems, as in they can _only_ be used for
one or the other purpose. You can easily use Linux Mint or Elementary OS as a server OS,
or even use SUSE Linux Enterprise or OpenBSD as a home computer or workstation OS.
Sure, Linux Mint may be far more user friendly than OpenBSD, but they are equally capable.
It's better to say that FreeBSD and OpenBSD are more 'geared towards' server use, rather than
that they are 'server operating systems.'

I wonder if I could use a -BSD system just like I use Linux, being able to do the same thing, with my app ecosyste- oh crap, I sound just like when I was curious about Linux for the first time.
To be honest, I don't really care what is -real unix- and what isn't (that's a fun ship of Theseus problem), but I couldn't be able to name specific technical reasons to prefer Linux / -BSD / illumos for my use case.

Is freebsd under attack? Almost all links are 404 or uh oh :( handbook is literally destroyed and forum posts that refer to it are coming up empty. Trying to install ghost on a new drive, livecd forced into console instead of installer. I have an older iso that works, but newer ones dont, in fact i think the new ones are somehow corrupted.

If anyone is having trouble getting mouse support in a VM (VirtualBox), you need to add moused_enable=-YES- to rc.conf and make sure the mouse service is running by running -sudo service moused restart.- This seems independent of Window Manager and Desktop Environment since I had the same issue and fixed it for twm and xfce.

I am running OpenBSD on my Thinkpad. It is technically a desktop OS, but man it seems like everything is just harder. I can't run many of my programs. Others just behave weird like Firefox that still can't figure out it is my default browser.

To me is better than many linux distros out there. I use freebsd with dwm as a daily driver and I can't complaint, they have linux-kernel translation layer so you can run whatever is made for linux-distros. I highly recommend it.
