medium is virtual box

Actually it doesn't make any difference. You can burn a disc iso to whatever storage system you like.

it works for me n its ez....why use dvd one....its tto big a file

I generally use CD iso when I install a GNU/Linux distro or alike.

get the nearest miiror

i normally choose the default

I think a torrent would be faster. https://wiki.freebsd.org/Torrents

which has the lowest?

https://thebestvpn.com/vulnerability-alerts/ This is the report.

so did you guys started denovo from bsd or or from linux?

my first OS was a linux distro, used linux since, switched to BSD recently

hp 14-0355ng does anybody know if I can switch the Realtek wifi of the hp to Atheros or broadcom without issues?

does anyone know a way to record audio in fbsd per single application?

Any? I have never had troubles with it. Even on that tricky laptop realtek... What is your sound card? Have you checked your configuration? Logs etc?

I don't know how to record a virtual playback generated by a single application (for example vlc)

@MrPhyber Have you tried ffmpeg directly from command line?

Mmmm, I'll investigate it a bit later

I've read about it a bit but I left the idea since I didn't have time back when I tried. - A bit outdated here it's said that capturing system audio with ffmpeg and snd_hda wasn't possible - From OpenBSD there's something that you can try with sndiod since it's reported that works with ffmpeg - Simplescreenrecorder uses pulseaudio (and stuff that I don't llike at all) and may work to record system audio (Maybe you've tried those before idk, I'll make some tests on my laptop once I end working)
