dsfadsfgafgf - HopeBSD - Sun Mar 14 18:02:57 2021

I've been using FREEBSD for at least Ten years. No! That's a blatant lie.

I've been using FREEBSD for about Two weeks at best. I can't remember

when I switched full time, or in other words when I put my old Arch SSD

back into my computer.

After what seemed like century's trying different distros looking for a

fit I finally broke down and installed the least fitting distro

imaginable. A distro I've never used.

I had quite the time of it even getting Startx to work.

1: UEFI doesn't work. Use Legacy Boot and change your Bios if necessary.

^ A solution I wasn't going to find anywhere other than just randomly

doing the one thing I hadn't tried.

Least fitting? Not really. I was getting tired of constant updates, I

don't need them.

These are my wants and needs in any operating system.

SOUND

USB sound card worked before I'd even installed Xorg. Although I have

installed Pulseaudio for a slightly improved volume output, I think? I

can't really tell if it was worth it or not but it's not doing anything

mad so it can stay.

Tethering

USB Tethering required an FAQ-FLU Free setup. This goes in /etc/rc.conf

ifconfig_ue0="DHCP"
dhclient ue0

Auto mount external drives

If this was a linux distro or any other Distro for that matter that was

claiming to be "Modern" or claiming to have bells and whistles I would have ditch it.

Freebsd doesn't make any claims of that nature. You know what your getting

& nothing about it is contra to any claim (As far as I can tell).

To me that makes the setup worth it.

I've not spent any time at all fixing someone's overstated claims.

I've got Automount working a little. But I just set some alias in my zshrc

anyway.

The naming convention for external hard-drives in FREEBSD is horrible it

could actually be worse than linux.

All in all when your biggest moan about an operating system is the

aforementioned you don't really have anything to moan about.

I'm really liking FREEBSD in 2021. I get the feeling I should have

switched years ago. Never mind, I'm here now and I ain't going back.
