seriously, tho, looks like a bug in the package: it was built with a fresher version of Qt in mind

thank you so much! im pretty new to freebsd so I totaly forgot i should do pkg upgrade sometimes :D

What is the standard procedure if i find some program not behaving as expected? I have tried using sigrok-cli/pulseview programs for electronics projects but it doesnt behave as it should. Id much rather run programs native instead of trying to do it in a VM or on sepparate linux computer. Should i contact a maintainer to ask where is the problem? Or post on forums?

Greetings , Guys can someone tell me the differences between linux and BSD ?? i mean why someone may choose FreeBSD rather than choosing linux ? what are the benefits , security measures and etc about bsd systems ?

Anyone work as DevOps with FreeBSD exclusively ? What cloud computing stack ? I am still trying to figure out how tech stack like ansible, kube, openshift, CI, clustering in FreeBSD

k8s is linux only. fbsd has jails. for all intends and purposes fbsd is the same as gnu/linux on VMs. i'd recomend using something like packer or plain ssh to build images. for CI jenkins should run on fbsd if you're into that clustering. hmmm. what's your usecase?

you still have bhyve and one of the many bhyve frontends called CBSD can actually run k8s on FreeBSD

lol. running linux containers in a linux guest on a freebsd host is not the same as running linux containers on freebsd

are you implying anyone uses hardware nodes and not VMs as k8s nodes?

If anyone has problems with bhyve virtual machines after S3 mode, please add them to the topic for discussion. Tested more than 50 OS distributions. https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/bhyve-virtual-machine-after-s3-mode-glitches-or-freezes.93541/

I guess the same reason they don't have kqueue: noone is interested in porting it.

The developers themselves have to generate support for other distributions.

Can you name a rule or law that forces them to port their code to some.other.temporary.distro and support it forever ever?

This isn't gnuland

Actually I'm interested in FreeBSD because it never was trying to be like Linux. And I don't see a that huge difference between Windows and Linux nowadays.

And for this I could also said, I'm interested in OpenBSD now. Because I don't see that huge different between FreeBSD and Linux :P just FreeBSD ports problems :(

Trying linuxulator, one more step closer...

I could running many of Linux software in FreeBSD 14 using compat.

That's the good news. We don't need getting closer with linux

But bsd does need more software and hardware support for day to day use in both desktop and non-desktop environments.

Can you name a few?

Audio Improvements The FreeBSD audio stack, much like FreeBSD itself, has garnered a reputation for its quality, reliability, and stability over the past two decades. There is still ample room for improvement, particularly in addressing a lack of audio development frameworks, missing userland utilities, and kernel driver bugs. Additionally, the Open Sound System (OSS) lacks native tools beyond mixer(8), leading users to rely on tools from multiple different audio systems (ALSA, PulseAudio, sndio) to compensate. To tackle these challenges, the FreeBSD Foundation is supporting Christos Margiolis to improve FreeBSD’s audio stack. The project aims to equip FreeBSD audio developers with the necessary tools and frameworks to streamline sound development. Upon completion, FreeBSD will boast a more stable audio stack, a broader array of userland audio programs, and a more coherent audio ecosystem overall. The introduction of new development frameworks is expected to stimulate native FreeBSD audio development, which will be particularly beneficial for those interested in using FreeBSD for music production.

Do you use OpenBSD ?

Yes

Tell me how you are using OpenBSD, I guess you are using it for server, because for desktop environment it lacks software and hardware support.

so i am trying to run a windows 10 ltsc iot virtual machine with bhyve on a pc using intel i5 650(legacy bios) but reading the guide at https://github.com/churchers/vm-bhyve/wiki/Running-Windows i thought it will run but it seems it needs vnc connection so i tried to follow the guide at https://github.com/churchers/vm-bhyve/wiki/UEFI-Graphics-(VNC) but it mentions a port namely "uefi-edk2-bhyve-csm" which i am unable to install for some reason(maybe because i don't have uefi and only bios) and i would also like to know in which directory i have to copy the firmware files because i am unable to locate the windows vm directory thanks in advance

my end goal is to just be able to run windows 10 ltsc with bhyve

have you checked https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/handbook/virtualization/#virtualization-bhyve-windows ?

Probably just another hobbyist, when you run no business you can use that kind of unreliable stuff 😹 because when shit goes wrong, no problem! you were doing nothing relevant anyways ;)

Can you specify why you think it's unreliable
