setting up ghostbsd as daily driver desktop rn, lovin it but need tips for drivers like wificard and how to get my keys for screen brightness working (I can change brightness with an app in bsd but I feel it's not doing everything it could with the keys qua brightness amount change)
Thx
I'm reading up on the manual but it's a lot of work in teh beginning.
To all /g anons I really don't get why anyone is using troonux / loonux. BSD features security, privacy and stability. Linux features no security, no privacy and no stability (pick 2 out of 3 for every distro). I love the easy process so far booting ghostBSD, just make sure you have ethernet cable ready bc instant drivers for wificard aren't a thing mostly.
Most people seem to use FreeBSD. GhostBSD is like a distro of FreeBSD with easier install where you dont have to config everything yourself initially and you have a desktop environment after booting. Same for dragonflyBSD. Then OpenBSD and NetBSD are cmoplete other OS'es (not completely different but separate OS's). Open I think is more security-oriented, Net-> portability.
Afai understand it, BSD is mostly a server OS with good security and stabilty due to Jails and other technical stuff (like autistic committers prioritizing simplicity and unicity). Also they have 'nice' encryyption and then they have 'you might get killed for your data' encyrption wherre you get to swap your info so it's completely unreadable or something (like swapping the location, I know what encryption does in lots off detail, which is why I'm not using Linux or windows which are both routinely backdoored).
I still need to learn a lot but I equally hate goydows and goynux so much. I plan on only running MacBooks and FreeBSD's for the rest of my life.
im severely retarded so i just use OpenBSD with a debian vm that i ssh into and use x11 passthrough to use loonix apps that are gui based, works quite well i think thatd be fine on FreeBSD aswell, although idk how much virtualization differs in it (i use vmm/vmd in OpenBSD, there might be an equivalent in FreeBSD)
Some stuff is crash prone but FreeBSD can run pretty much anything Linux can. Problem with BSDs and other free Unixes is the lack of hardware support, although Nvidia releases drivers for it. Unlike Linux it's a complete OS and not a bunch of components developed seperately and packaged together. I'd recommend GhostBSD, NomadBSD or MidnightBSD for beginners. Open Indiana is another one to try if your looking for a solid workstation.
Every once in a while I go on some threads and I see someone mention BSD. Whenever I ask why I should use BSD over GNU/Linux, some guy in a punisher t-shirt starts to lecture me about the philisophy of Lionel Richie, and says some non sequitur about systemd. Listen man I have a D ready for you, fucking bitch. I don't give a fuck about your liberal sociology. I just want Steam to fucking work on my computer. I want my WiFi to work. I'm always told, BSD is a complete operating system, it doesn't use distros like Linux. And then I look at the fucking piles of BSD DISTROS online. FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD, TrueOS, DragonFly BSD. And wow, they all suck, and they're all distros.
And these are just the online BSD people. Once you get into real life it's even worse. I go to the BSD conference, and it looks like a fucking Starbucks. It's all rich millenials and baby boomers, sitting at their fucking Macbook Pros, jacking themselves off about how they run a BSD OS on their fucking Apple shitbox. YOU AREN'T A PRO HACKER FOR RUNNING MACOS, you fucking dipshit. Nobody cares. INSTALL GENTOO!
Okay okay okay okay. I'm at the fucking BSD conference, this guy comes up, George or some shit. It's that fucking egg man looking guy who is in every BSD shilling video, it's like it's his full-time job to tell people to run FreeBSD. He doesn't even run fucking FreeBSD because in every video I see, he's sitting at a Macbook Pro running MacOS. Wow, you run your own operating system in a virtual machine only, it must be so great right! He's always mumbling about how he made the fucking network stack for MacOS. Gee, I wonder how much you got paid for that bud, oh yeah fucking nothing. Great job buddy, happy for you. At least you got Apple to give of the code they added right? Wait, wrong, you didn't because you used a KEK LICENSE! Billionaires are making money off of over 20 years of this guy's fucking work. He got nothing in return, he got no source code. And he's proud of this, incredible!
Wait a minute, do you hear that?!
TOO BAD YOU DIDN'T USE THE GPL KIDDO!
Wow, thanks Stallman! It sure does feel good to be free.
Imagine what it's like being this bald guy, working on a free OS for decades, just for it to be used to spy on users and make billionaires more money. Imagine being proud of this! BSD is a cuck operating system and running it is an embarrassment. This is why you don't run BSD. Besides it being really bad on desktop, that's also a reason.

If you think that LULZ is full of retards who are still wasting time with Linux...
>What are some common problems?
you're wasting your time with BSD
You're wasting your time with Linux and BSD to be completely fair.
good morning sir
It's 2:30 pm here. Please dont assume my gender.
It is a certain version of either Centos or fedora, i forgot.
This (which you should read) https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/handbook/linuxemu/ says "kernel 3.17"

>get my keys for screen brightness working
blight, xbacklight if you're on an xorg based wm/de
brightnessctl on wayland

Ahh and so the larp ends
Horrible. Exactly like FreeBSD. Nothing works there.

xen is a thing on freebsd
