I have to say that after a bit of a faff to get window managers to run caused most probably by yours truly. I am finding to be really better than expected. I can run the likes of Sway, River, Hyprland without issue and I'm really liking ZFS with encryption and OMG Geli doesn't half unlock the filesystem fast. It unlocks on this poor wee Celeron faster than my AMD Thinkpad P14s does with luks and grub. Not saying I'm a convert just saying that's all. ๐Ÿ˜‰ :freebsd:

@JustineSmithies heh, it's always good to remain curious and to have a look what's on the other side of the fence. (be it, running mainly a BSD and occasionally/regularly check out Linux, or vice versa ;-)

Either way... have fun.

I'm attempting to install #FreeBSD onto my test laptop although it failed last time with some error about the base package after downloading them all. I'm going to write the actual error down this time if it fails. ๐Ÿ™ƒ

@JustineSmithies Hmmh, ventoy or dd'ing on directly on usb stick? I think using ventoy doesn't work...

Sitting patiently whilst Julie re dyes my hair aka regingering reading about #FreeBSD of all things. I've read about the differences between #Linux and #BSD and now I'm onto the ports system and OMG I'm nearly tempted to give it a whirl on my trusty old test laptop. :freebsd:
How many folk have if any have switched from Linux to BSD and if you have please tell me why and what you prefer over the former ?

@JustineSmithies did it earlier this year. Looked at OpenBSD but settled with FreeBSD because I wanted to stick to Plasma as my DE.

Actually two major reasons. Curiosity and I started with Linux in the early to mid nineties with slackware and floss and community attracted me. So, the direction some of the big players want to push Linux atm make me feel unhappy.

Had the same sentiments about ports, zfs is brilliant and my initial feeling on BSD is a strange "home, at last" feeling.

    @darth @Defolos Thanks for the interesting read to you both. Watching this from FreeBSD where wayland support is still experimental.

    As an ex-it guy technically I can understand the reasoning behind this decission.

    However as someone who's working with kids and teenagers on their social skills, I am more interested now in the way how this is transferred and communicated to their users and community and from that perspective the whole matter is handled subpar the way it is done now, imo.๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ

    Tionisla,
    @Tionisla@troet.cafe avatar

    @darth @Defolos

    Yeah, it's about different "roles" in human interactions.

    In the end it boils down if you interact with others (in this case users) as an true equal partner or if communication is sloped towards an end. I read a lot of the latter.

    In case you are interested there's a communicational concept called "transactional analysis" and describes how people interact verbally with each other.

    @stefano@bsd.cafe avatar

    Today, I had a work meeting with a young but eager fellow. We had a chat, I explained a few things, and he agreed with the technical choices I suggested. However, the issue arose when I mentioned writing a few lines of a "tutorial" on how to do certain things. His response: "Can't you make a video?" Surprised (but not too much), I argued that in my opinion, a concise written tutorial is more practical than a pointless video. His reply: "We only watch videos now, even my colleagues look up solutions on YouTube." This is despite the wealth of excellent tutorials on StackExchange and various blogs. I wonder: why waste half an hour watching a video that could be summarized in a few lines of text (saving time for both the producer and the user)?

    Tionisla,
    @Tionisla@troet.cafe avatar

    @stefano the nerd and ex-it agrees with you on this. I prefer text over video any time. but that's just personal preference.

    the professional me however immediately thought about basic learning principles. Each person has its own prefered types of learning. Some prefer auditive, visual, <other sensorics) some motorical e.g. repetively or learning by doing, some learn from a model.
    The best way is to have a variety of this at once.
    1/x

    Tionisla,
    @Tionisla@troet.cafe avatar

    @stefano Also learing speed and attention spans differ. The emotional aspect or if the things you want to learn have a meaning is important. Also the relationship between mentor and mentee is playing a role.

    All this is also true vice versa. if you trying to teach someone in a way you are uncortable with it will be subpar.

    There's a good paper about this by a German neuro-scientist called Gerhard Roth, called "why teaching and learning is that difficult" (unfortunately just in German).

    @darth @trezzer There's a lot of software in base and ports, s desktop wise also many things you can find also on linux (running plasma here)

    There's no systemd and wayland is experimental so far, so for things like automount, networkmanager or GUI you'll have to use solutions that are not just linux-only.

    tl;dr; I personally can do the same things on this machine I can do on Linux, but I have to set everything up.
    So, a short time later I migrated my main laptop to FreeBSD too. ymmv

    @maxleibman yeah, I know it's a pun, but to avoid trivialization or a misconception, it's not lack of object permanence.

    They know their remote workers exist even when not around, otherwise they wouldn't try to control them. But obviously there's a certain level of mistrust or it sounds rather like a bonding/attachment problem.

    @Joseph_of_Earth@fosstodon.org avatar

    I think that Fedora as a project is running into a conflict between it's First Foundation and the fact that it's more popular than it's been before. That popularity comes with the cost of users have an expectation for a slower moving distro than Fedora may want to be. Add to that the fact that Fedora hasn't had flashy changes in the last 3 releases and you can see how something like dropping X11 could come as a surprise for folks who were used a more cozy, boring ride. #Fedora

    @Tionisla@troet.cafe avatar

    @vwbusguy @nirik @Joseph_of_Earth

    The thread now calmed down a bit after other devs iirc from the Krita project, showed up, gave their feedback what's all lacking in wayland for digital artists to be a real replacement, linked to a lot of known/old/dorment bug reports both in plasma and wayland, ressources like wikis and blogposts what's neccessary and it seem Nate Graham now tries to deal with it...

    sigh imo, all the trouble, because of yet another short sighted "works for me" decission.

    I guess it would've been possible to make for a as well... ?

    sigh the new #scummvm 2.70 fails to load my old Baphomets Fluch (sword1). Since it worked fine before, this seems like a regression introduced by the recent changes to the engine...

    Read in the forum about blank spaces making troubles, but I don't have any. I use an extra path for music and speech, maybe this now ceased to work.

    @scummvm

    Tionisla,
    @Tionisla@troet.cafe avatar

    @scummvm ok, the plot thickens, I removed my old entries and tried to readd the game directory, now #scummvm was says it's an unsupported version...

    Nope, it was supported up to now. It's from the orginal Boxed German Edition. The only change was the downloadable DXAs from the scummvm website.

    I will copy the files from the CD and see if works, but it's a mess.

    Tionisla,
    @Tionisla@troet.cafe avatar

    @scummvm Ok, I downloaded the sources and checked the detection_tables.h. My German version is in the md5 hashes the only difference is it's checking against the videos in SMK.

    I have the German DXAs from the official scummvm download section. Either this should be marked deprecated or it shouldn't check for the videos.

    Don't get me wrong, I appreciate all the excellent work the @scummvm folks put into their project, but this change seemed to be rushed.

    Tionisla,
    @Tionisla@troet.cafe avatar

    @scummvm heh, ok, they seem to accept the english GOG version with DXAs, and overide the czech version while all the others have to be smks in the resp smackshi folder... sigh

    I guess I'll have to patch it for my version, then.

    Tionisla,
    @Tionisla@troet.cafe avatar

    @scummvm ok, I am lazy. I went to the attic, looked for the cardbox with my old adventure games, got both sword1 and sword2 and copied all original game data to the NAS. I had all audio in Flac before, but if they start to deprecate these as well, I thought it's better safe than sorry.

    Ok, I have both version back working... One thing that stopped working too, is I could change the texts to english in my German install (read: German speech, english subtitles). This doesn't work anymore, either.

    Tionisla,
    @Tionisla@troet.cafe avatar

    @scummvm ok, FLACs not working was just because FreeBSDs scummvm wasn't compiled with flac-support. (Stupid me)

    Now, knowing this I even got the English Broken Sword from GOG completely working now.

    Oh, and I'm glad subtitle support for the intro video, etc is still there.

    Woke up this morning curious. For all the users out there, is there a reason for someone running Linux desktop to consider running (of any kind or flavor), or is it more useful to have as a tool for servers? My only previous experience with BSD is brief dalliances with TrueNAS.

    My cousin had a a1200 later on, with running the MUI/Magic Workbench extensions. It looked gorgeous back then. My a500 was already dated. I used it still for awhile and then I eventually switched to the pc and pretty quickly to Slackware/Linux because I really thought Win3.11 a joke to work with....
