    looks like we're actually getting pkgbase in FreeBSD 15.0-RELEASE. i did not expect this to be ready in time, but there's a lot of last-minute work going on, like bsdinstall support that was just committed.

      Ok I'm interested to see how many users still use as their daily an ( ) WM or DE and intend to continue doing so for the foreseeable. It doesn't matter which BSD you use just if you do use X or ?

      Please boost for a larger each and thank you. xoxo

      Yeah I use Xorg ( X11 ) and intend to continue for the fores...:97

        @BoxyBSD was always for BSD based systems only. I focussed to push the whole BSD community and to encourage people to try BSD based systems (such like . , , etc.) but I'm not sure if it might provide more value to the whole community by also supporting systems (such like , , , and more).

        I'm not sure if the project still provides a value for the community right, now.

        What do you think?

          Don't know what's going on as I've never had an issue in 20+ years dd an image to a usb but for some reason 10.1 image won't run up when selected it says root not found. Yet I have managed to get it to run the installer twice. I've tried like 6 times and re done the usb image. Going to try another USB memory stick just incase but I know this one would work with .

              You know what I really like about the community ? Earlier I posted about maybe trying for my desktop instead of my current and nobody said "No" use the other. If I'd said that about a distro I'd have had folk from all corners shouting use this distro or that. The BSD community chime in when you ask for help or when they see a way that could be better for you. I'm probably going to sent to Coventry for saying this but ah well bite me. Free speech and all. 🤣

                            I just launched the new @BoxyBSD self-service portal where you can finally manage your BSD based box instances on your own - and I really love this minimalistic and terminal alike design.
