<p>Thanks to the <a href="/tags/freebsd/" rel="tag">#FreeBSD</a> Handbook on Ports and the following page, I finally got around to building the drm-kmod port and dependencies so that amdgpu runs properly on 14.2. <img src="https://neodb.social/media/emoji/bsd.network/runbsdBg.png" class="emoji" alt=":runbsdBg:" title=":runbsdBg:"> </p><p><a href="https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/freebsd-14-2-graphics-fix.96365/" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="forums.freebsd.org/threads/freebsd-14-2-graphics-fix.96365/"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">forums.freebsd.org/threads/fre</span><span class="invisible">ebsd-14-2-graphics-fix.96365/</span></a></p><p><a href="/tags/runbsd/" rel="tag">#RunBSD</a> <a href="/tags/bsd/" rel="tag">#BSD</a></p>

<p>I had to give <span class="h-card"><a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/@BoxyBSD" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>BoxyBSD</span></a></span> a try and it is really amazing! Just got an <a href="/tags/illumos/" rel="tag">#illumos</a> box running there for free and it works without any issues. So, not only <a href="/tags/bsd/" rel="tag">#BSD</a> based systems, but also <a href="/tags/opensolaris/" rel="tag">#opensolaris</a> is supported at <a href="https://gyptazy.com/fedi/gyptazy" rel="nofollow">@gyptazy</a>&#x27;s amazing service. Thank you very much for this service. Btw, you could add real home directories for the created user ;)</p><p>Maybe more people will have a look at <a href="/tags/solaris/" rel="tag">#solaris</a> like <a href="/tags/openindiana/" rel="tag">#openindiana</a> or <a href="/tags/tribblix/" rel="tag">#tribblix</a> or <a href="/tags/omnios/" rel="tag">#omnios</a>.</p>

Having toyed around for a while in <a href="/tags/qemu/" rel="tag">#QEMU</a> <a href="/tags/vm/" rel="tag">#VM</a> boxes with <a href="/tags/freebsd/" rel="tag">#FreeBSD</a>, <a href="/tags/openbsd/" rel="tag">#OpenBSD</a> and <a href="/tags/netbsd/" rel="tag">#NetBSD</a> as well. I found that <a href="/tags/gpart/" rel="tag">#gpart</a> in FreeBSD is intuitive and easy to use for disk partition manipulation, followed by gpt in NetBSD. For me, powerful and flexible as fdisk is, it has always been mysteriously difficult and fighting.<br><a href="/tags/usebsd/" rel="tag">#UseBSD</a> <a href="/tags/runbsd/" rel="tag">#RUNBSD</a> <a href="/tags/bsd/" rel="tag">#BSD</a> <a href="/tags/foss/" rel="tag">#FOSS</a> <a href="/tags/unix/" rel="tag">#UNIX</a><br>

And oh boy all terms seem so foreign to me as a long time <a href="/tags/linux/" rel="tag">#Linux</a> user. The same disk is called ada0 with a partition like ada0p2 in <a href="/tags/freebsd/" rel="tag">#FreeBSD</a>, will be called something like sd0 with sd0h in <a href="/tags/openbsd/" rel="tag">#OpenBSD</a>, ld0 and dk2 in <a href="/tags/netbsd/" rel="tag">#NetBSD</a> . Then to experiment, all the <a href="/tags/dkctl/" rel="tag">#dkctl</a>, <a href="/tags/disklabel/" rel="tag">#disklabel</a> and <a href="/tags/fdisk/" rel="tag">#fdisk</a> commands are like blue and red wires on a dynamite you have to get rid of 😱. Linux distros nowadays seem to be going to the <a href="/tags/gdisk/" rel="tag">#gdisk</a> way which feels very much like <a href="/tags/gpart/" rel="tag">#gpart</a> in FreeBSD.<br><a href="/tags/usebsd/" rel="tag">#UseBSD</a> <a href="/tags/runbsd/" rel="tag">#RUNBSD</a> <a href="/tags/bsd/" rel="tag">#BSD</a> <a href="/tags/foss/" rel="tag">#FOSS</a> <a href="/tags/unix/" rel="tag">#UNIX</a> <a href="/tags/linux/" rel="tag">#Linux</a><br>

Another thing is, in <a href="/tags/freebsd/" rel="tag">#FreeBSD</a> and also <a href="/tags/linux/" rel="tag">#Linux</a>, using <a href="/tags/efibootmgr/" rel="tag">#efibootmgr</a> to change <a href="/tags/uefi/" rel="tag">#UEFI</a> boot entries is quite handy.

<p>After spending the last few days playing around with Linux distros from 1997-98 and comparing them to <a href="/tags/freebsd/" rel="tag">#FreeBSD</a> 2.2.8, I&#x27;m left wondering why exactly it was Linux that ended up winning that round of the OS wars when it seems like FreeBSD was so much better? Nearly all the Linux distros I tried were at least partially broken out-of-the-box.</p><p>Best guess: lingering legal concerns vis-a-vis AT&amp;T? 🤔</p><p><a href="/tags/retrocomputing/" rel="tag">#RetroComputing</a> <a href="/tags/bsd/" rel="tag">#BSD</a></p>

Good news is most things seem to work out of box: WiFi, touchpad, i915 drived video card. Bad news is, suspend/wakeup (S3) not working. It appears suspend worked well since after issuing sysctl -w hw.acpi.sleep.state=3 the laptop went to sleep with blinking power led, fan stops. However, at wakeup keyboard just stops responding, even swtiching tty with Ctrl-Alt-Fn keys. WiFi usually wakes up just fine since I gain ssh session back shortly after wakeups. I will conclude a major issue for a system if suspend/wakeup won&#x27;t work for a laptop. I simply cannot imagine having to poweroff a laptop every day before going to bed.
