The FreeBSD Blog has come out stating a new effort to support laptops and the functionality that comes with that. In the blog, I saw that Framework was a supporter.
I, for one, would be very interested in using BSD on my laptop, I think its a pretty bulletproof system. Is anyone else excited about this? I hope Framework gives us updates on the progress of FW laptop support on FreeBSD.
Same here.
FreeBSD has always been one of my favorite operating systems for decades. (as well as OpenBSD) It would be amazing if more work was done to get FreeBSD to work on Framework. It has always been a strong OS geared towards workstations and servers.
It traditionally has not played well with laptops for a variety of reasons. Will be great to natively have a BSD running on a cutting edge laptop.
FreeBSD 14 installs. With the caveat that it needs DRM-6* installed. That is not installed during the initial installation process.
I had to install from ports, and I have MATE up and running nicely.
