linux

I have been thinking about the old problem of Linux having more drivers than BSDs. The drivers are, however, locked to the Linux kernel. Then I thought, has it been explored that one would run GNU/Linux just for the drivers using, for example, something like a Raspberry Pi (specifically, an x86...

i have 3 jails that use nullfs to mount the home directory each jail has zsh installed and so they all use the zsh config files i need a way to check the os, so i can have different shell config for each jail so they can have different shell paths XDG_RUNTIME_DIR directories, or use X11 or...

Hi to all, I'm new at FreeBSD. Coming from GNU/Linux. I have wireless card MT7921. Once I tried FreeBSD, i had issues with wireless. I think there's no support for MT7921. I've seen there were some developments for MT79xx family and also use Linux driver with LinuxKPI. I don't know how to do...

I have installed the Freebsd podman-suite pkg and created a Ubuntu container The XDG_RUNTIME_DIR is mounted from Freebsd to the Ubuntu container so i can access the Wayland socket Then i installed qt5ct on Ubuntu, created a user and set up the shell and exported the xdg directories qt5ct...

I have installed ubuntu and the internet does not work there without root

On the same machine (Lenovo ThinkCentre M600 Tiny Thin Client N3000 terminal), installing pure FreeBSD 14.1 (UFS fs) and Debian (EXT3 fs) distributions, the disk performance results are dramatically different. Result from dmesg (FreeBSD): ada0 at ahcich1 bus 0 scbus1 target 0 lun 0 ada0...

Hi, The official documentation describe the Sublime Text installation in context to a Linux C7 environment. Upcoming warnings shows, that C7 will not more supported. In this case I tried to install Ubuntu and Sublime Text, but Sublime Text will not start and no error message shows why. What is...

I was curious as to what OS I appear as on different servers and check out a website called https://whatsmyos.com/ Both Chromium and Firefox show that I am running Linux. Luakit shows that I am running FreeBSD 64bit. I wonder how many metrics are measuring web traffic and counting FreeBSD as...

Hi, I am considering running FreeBSD as my "main" OS on my laptop. I understand hardware support will be the big pain point (as I am not ready to by a new laptop yet) and I was thinking about avoiding it for now in this way: - I would run minimal a Linux hypervisor (minimal in the sense I...

I have a NFS share exported from a Ubuntu Linux system, with the /exports looking as follows: /nfs/directory 192.168.21.239(rw,sync,no_subtree_check) then confirm the export is being shared with showmount -e 192.168.21.2 from the FreeBSD VM guest and finally try to mount with mount -vvv -t nfs...

I am trying to build Freebsd repo in a sambashare on linux. I keep on failing on https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-src/blob/main/contrib/bmake/unit-tests/objdir-writable.mk . The error output consists of...

Sorry if this is offensive, but why the continued separation from Linux? I know that they both started separate, but I feel like both projects could get a lot of good from a merging. The BSD software could get a lot more eyes upon it, and Linux could gain more ingrained support for things like...

Hey all! I've been using Linux for quite a while now. Currently, I'm using Gentoo to learn about Unix-Like OSes and how C works (though the second part isn't going too well), and I think that I should also try BSD. I would like to ask how I would switch over, i.e. get Firefox, Steam, and such...

Hello. I'm looking to install FreeBSD (Hopefully with KDE) onto my Thinkpad X1Carbon Gen 6. (Samsung 980 SSD/16 GB ram) I'm mostly familiar with linux in general and have tried different distros. I currently run Arch (With KDE and btrfs / not encrypted) and it definitely runs great on my laptop...

mro please, did you try what's suggested by Julian Schmidhuber? vermaden asked:

ive been experimenting with running linux wayland apps in an ubuntu jail the jail is running ubuntu mantic with the nvidia drivers manually installed so they match the version on the freebsd host wayland enabled in the jails ~/.zshenv config export WAYLAND_DISPLAY=wayland-0 export...

I just figured out how to run Wayland applications from inside a Jail without using Xwayland The reason i started looking into this is because Davinci Resolve 19 beta 1 supports running as a native wayland application instead of running as an X11 app Also there is a nasty bug with wlroots that...

Freebsd 14 p.6 quarterly Nvidia Driver 550.54.14 matches the exact version on Ubuntu 23.10 That means you can use the Nvidia driver from the Ubuntu repo in a jail or a chroot and it will match the version on the Freebsd host rather than having to download and manually install the Nvidia...

EDIT: Now it's possible to do it in -CURRENT. Just run `echo geom_label_load='"YES"' >> /boot/loader.conf` as root, reboot and use whatever GEOM detects as swap in /dev/swaplinux. On -STABLE you have to apply the diff in https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-src/pull/1205 like this: cd /tmp...
