how noobie are we talking about? if it's their first time with a UNIX os they probably shouldnt be here

If someone is absolutely noob about UNIX, then vanilla BSDs are a great start. There are only two things one need to lean vanilla BSDs: - a compatible computer (x220 or so always work) - In the case of FreeBSD, read the handbook and the man pages. That should reach a successful install, and from there one can keep learning. What happens today is that people usually want to rush into UNIX topics and have a Unix desktop like most mainstream Linux distroes, and they want to have it in an instant. And that's when they fail, rage about the system, and quit. Learning Unix takes time, vanilla BSDs are a really good approach to do it (:

For a complete noob, a harder way to get into Unix would be trying Plan9 or Unix 6, or even Unix 4 or so

having difficulties burning isos with dd ? try k3b works for me LOL.

welcome

also I don't know why people push all these derivative distros. ghost is not any easier then Freebsd. unbuntu no better than debian. devuan tho is still init, yeah !!!

Thanks man. And how to burn it in PC Windows?

Yes Rufus.ie is good tool for Windows to burn iso image file to usb flash drive. 1.5 Megabytesin size. Etçher.io is also good easy gui tool. 70 megabytes size. https://wiki.ghostbsd.org/index.php/Installation_Guide Directions for writing .iso file to usb flash drive. https://wiki.ghostbsd.org/index.php/Installation_Guide#Creating_a_bootable_USB_Flash_Drive https://wiki.ghostbsd.org/index.php/Pre-installation_Tasks

got good news today my machine will not run windows 11, no tpm 2.0 chip.

Is windows 11 any different from 10 under the hood?

it has to have that chip

it has to have that chip

Ik, I'm saying technical compared to win10

Well, it is different. They changed kernel and now scheduler behaves differently for some chips. For example Destiny 2 which is heavily cpu bound can run much faster on old AMD chips.

I also heard Cyberpunk is getting nice perf boost on w11.

I'd say they finally fixing old windows bugs.

And adding ton of useless crap.

You can ditch it.

Maybe it can help you.

@ShopBoy have you read this? http://www.wonkity.com/~wblock/docs/html/disksetup.html

You selected Manual at Partition menu, right?

If it mets the java libraries it may worl I guess. Tbh I never dealt with Java. Another option could be using a virtual machine. OpenVM is available as a pkg iirc.

Done. Works fine now

Awesome! Did you make it to work natively on FreeBSD or through Linux Compat?

You have to do it manually yeah, but instead of using the Manual optiom you can also use the Shell option and do it by commands as the guide I shared. I've never done partitions for different OSes in a same hard disk. I either use separate spare disks or virtual environments

it's very slow

yup

will it resolves itself ?

will it resolves itself ?

no tho it will tell ya whats missing

as for example I don't understand this : required shared library libc.so.6 not found how is it possible that libc doesn't exist ??

do a locate. where is it ?

it's only in /compat/linux

is the error in /compat/linux?

for the moment I don't use compat

I don't think that's impacting ?

which release?

$ freebsd-version 12.2-RELEASE-p9

do i need to upgrade to 13 ?

i would

mmh yeah but right now I haven't my backup up to date

oh I really don't know what to do

I'm scared to fucked up the whole os

i did the upgrade it works. forgot method. search.

ya on zfs ?

yes

I'll try to do a snapshot with bectl before

errr.......... my zfs died

no

yes

are you sure ? did you try in /etc/rc.conf to specify to use zfs and not openzfs

it installed the system then on reboot died
