Then it probably wasn't on in the first place
With secure boot enabled, you could not even boot FreeBSD in the first place unless its boot loader was signed

I understand somewhat😊still have plenty to learn!

OK I know this is off topic. but has anyone looked at android_x86-64

I did once but didn't get very far, it just refused to install.
Jaco
FreeBSD takes a while before it recognizes my USB flash drive, anyone maybe know why? I use DSBMC to automatically mount removable media. Transfer speeds also twice as long as gnu/linux, could this be because i'm still running HDD with ZFS?

I got it to install, but I was wondering where's all the purtty gui stuff like in the screenshots.

Does it just load into a tty?
Jaco
yeah all i got was the command line stuff
I'll check it out in a VM later, maybe they got some info on the site or docs

I did the rpm in duavan using alien -ci in vmware

it needs more stuff from another repo.

ain't got that far YET
Jaco

I see, still going to check that out. I forgot it existed

For those of you using desktop machines, what are your boot times? on SSD or HDD?
Anonymous
For me ~30 sec (HDD)
ɴꙩᴍᴀᴅ
Yup, I'm on 1:30 to 2:00 with SSD
Anonymous
30 sec is with a fresh install and no further configuration to the system. No DE etc. I expect it will slow with some changes. I don't have any security features enabled on start-up

How do you measure it on FreeBSD?
Anonymous

35s Standard HDD 5400rpm

Oof, 13 has been bringing quite the advantage. FreeBSD init isn't parallelized or anything. If boot time is what you want to perfectionize, you probably early or later stumble upon parallelization.
Arminio
It's still pretty damn fast, no question here.
Arminio
That was never the point for me with FreeBSD, I run it on some absolutely ancient obsolete machines *because* it works just fine there.
Arminio
What I can safely tell you is that the whole boot process is debuggle, that FreeBSD is ultra reliable, yada yada.
Arminio
But wow, the devices I deploy FreeBSD on these days are...questionable.
Arminio
But that's the beauty of FreeBSD, afterall, no matter what hardware you throw at it, you'll be able to somewhat utilize it. FreeBSD is un-met in this regard, maybe NetBSD is superior here, but I've really installed FreeBSD on extremely obscure devices and they work since many years, without any issues.
Arminio
If I was ending up on some lone island, and I had to pick one single operating system I have to use until the end of my life, FreeBSD, hands down.
Arminio
But yeah, if you want FreeBSD on a laptop, try 13, it's just splendid.
Arminio
For me, personally, it's a dream coming true.
Jaco
Anybody that can recommend a good FreeBSD course?

Don't. Just try yourself. You'll see where you'll end up.

I have the manual and stuff, what i'm looking for is a course, a teacher and an environment where i can test real world scenarios

I have gotten pretty far😊bear in mind i have no degree in IT whatsoever, i am trying to better my understanding of the system. I get most of it but because english is my 2nd language, i sometimes need simpler english if that makes sense😅

I really suggest you to look at the FreeBSD handbook which is really light to read. But I can also point you to free ressources like The Art of Unix Programming to get a background of history and design.
Arminio
I just had that discussion with a good friend of mine and he simply doesn't understand why I'm so terminal focused with what I do...

it the way konqueror lays it out
Jaco

I don't know if "everything" is the right word but for instance, if i want to start my own project, understanding the utilities, how exactly do ports work and create my own( no programming experience) etc
Arminio

I really suggest stripping your problem chain down to ONE problem in the chain you want to solve.
XS
I have no problem so far.
Arminio

Hm, well, difficult, what you would need is a deep-dive, a walk down the rabbit-hole. If you have a life with family and kids, don't do that.

I would appreciate this very much! I have read the handbook but it doesn't elaborate on subjects too much, which is what i want
Arminio
I found reading the handbook pointless without having some concrete problem at hand.
XS
The handbook is there for handling the administration of FreeBSD specifically, not for learning how to use UNIX to solve your problems.
XS
There's a lot of ressources on that subject as well.

FWIW FreeBSD is known for it's outrageously awesome man pages - it's one of the reasons I need SSH to a FreeBSD host 24/7

luckily i don't😅I have setup my FreeBSD with everything i might need + automount etc. It's been a week and i really like it and not as confusing as gnu/linux. I did run GhostBSD and still on some other desktop but it is not as hands on, i want the learning curve

Well quite frankly, Linux is only confusing if you throw systemd and GNU into the game. The basic construct is ompletely understandable. It's what RedHat engineers built around it that has scope creep and therefore is hard to understand.

I consult the man pages often, successfully formatted a pendrive😅
Jaco
because no gui for drive management
Arminio
What I hate about FreeBSD man pages is the 80 character limitation, this just doesn't fit in a todays world.

You really have to embrace simple text only tools :D
