Dope Tech Episode 2

<<@zaxchannel2834 says : I wasn't able to ever get Midnight BSD working either, I really wanted to run wmaker on a BSD and pretend to use Next>> <<@faustus8315 says : I'm really considerung this OS as alternative for my windows machine. I don't have such good experience with linux and I really adore the thought of something less carpet patch like/just the kernel and more of everything out from one hand. Probably well too niche but i would examine happily a beginner's playlist about freebsd step by step>> <<@MMOPC78 says : While I'm always happy to hear about Unix/Linux development and with the current state of Windows 11: Apple needs to release their OS for Windows PCs. Maybe then, Microsoft will ease up on their tomfoolery.>> <<@George_K1 says : Excellent introductory video on BSD !!>> <<@marinoceccotti9155 says : Go with XLibre! GhostBSD will be my next OS.>> <<@nosuchthing8 says : This is in my top 20 video channels of all time>> <<@nosuchthing8 says : After the debacle of rust in Linux we might havd to switch to bsd for the pi.>> <<@George_K1 says : Very informative, interesting, and realistic video!! As usual a great video!! While BSD Excels in Storage, Server, Networking, and Security I suspect it will be a very troublesome for most people as a Desktop Alternative and compatibility challenge for many as a Desktop, but you nailed it in this video... A hardware Hit and Miss ... If all one wants to do is Browse the Internet and run few applications I imagine it will suffice and be more secure if it works.... BSD on the whole is a One-Of-A-Kind Operating System and it is superior in its ways, it has by far the best file system there is ZFS, and that is why TureNaS Core, FreeNas, PSx, and Netflix among many choose to run BSD. And While Linux and BSD both do the same thing... Linux is very reliable but BSD is leaner, cleaner, more reliable, and better optimized for certain use cases.>> <<@MatijaCizmar says : I installed FreeBSD 15, for me it is the best option since you choose which DE you want to install from ground up (And in general what components you want to install). I run plasma 6.6.4, and very new software in general..Ghost BSD lacks with latest ports and packages...But it has graphical installer, and maybe the only based FreeBSD fork which works well.>> <<@JanKowalski-vj9py says : FreeBSD on desktop is experience similar to Windows 3.1 It works, but requires a lot of preparatory work and offers only very raw ascetic computing. May be OK for some people but few would accept such museum style experience. The only real reason for using it is very liberal license that in fact requires only one thing: do not claim you wrote that software.>> <<@jaleomusic says : MACOS WAS BASED FROM HELLO SYSTEM OS>> <<@KristijanMatas says : now you see, alll you arch hipsters>> <<@mentalplayground says : BSD never was made for desktop and novice users. Soon it might be required to stay private.>> <<@nissan_200essex says : They added age verification (likely global) to GNU/Linux, which cannot be avoided due to the GPL license restricting geoblocks. That’s why I’m here.>> <<@journeytocoding816 says : Can i used mac os apps with free BSD>> <<@scineram says : The desktop installation script they developed that just missed the 15.0 release worked for me perfectly.>> <<@SamuelMoser-g4r9g says : I lost three Windows 10 PC laptops due the hardware was hacked. I suggested TPM. Windows telemetry just saves bug and glitch data and performance issue data along with what apps and processes were running at the time and since it saves it at Microsoft under a pseudo name then it is not a privacy violation because even Microsoft does not know who you are. Also Windows 11 saves all current threats detected in the cloud so real world threats that are currently happening can be eliminated immediately and wiped out because these current detected threats are scanned for first on all computers. I love Windows Recall and Copilot. What makes me angry is that Windows 11 removed the Taskview history and live tiles and ability to save shortcuts to Settings app features and also ability to move a copy of an icon to and from the taskbar and the desktop or a folder to create a shortcut. I am also angry Microsoft removed the mail app from the Windows 11. Also I am mad and afraid Microsoft wants to remove the Skype app and the Mail app. I want all this back.>> <<@xgui4-studio says : Watching this video on my GhostBSD Laptop :)>> <<@N-Tity says : There was me thinking BSD was a dig at MS blue screen of death>> <<@SourojitBh says : Very informative video, thanks Chris! I've been meaning to watch this video for a long time but after a while forgot about it. It popped up in my feed today and I watched the whole video. I was wondering though, what does the gaming scenario in freeBSD look like? Also, I wish ReactOS was as mature as freeBSD.>> <<@nickstoic2944 says : Thank you for sharing, great videos. Cheers.>> <<@nrtnrt6676 says : Retro computing.>> <<@michaelhempton3293 says : The BSD's have some serious hardware shortcomings>> <<@PaithanMycerinus says : how clueless are these devs that they used the same acronym as Blue Screen of Death? probably don't want to associate your os with windows crashes.>> <<@panjo40 says : i noticed that you have reviewed 2 BSD flavours,but i think Ghost BSD could be more suitable for us newbies. thanks with your clear and informative vids.>> <<@originalclippygfx says : 14:00 why does that hello look like the Apple hello>> <<@gavmusic says : Many thanks for this well made video. I'm interested in exploring BSD as a desktop based system and this presentation has helped focus my attention. Some years ago I ran a thing called PCBSD on a second PC which worked well until the developers had some other ideas about it and it came to an end.>> <<@LarryCarlin says : Thanks Chris for all your efforts. It helps me keep current on new developments and things I might miss had you not done all the research first.>> <<@motorcityneedlearts-sy1dv says : Awful music>> <<@JeffreyJohnsonC says : Nomad looks pretty good. Think I saw an installer, so I guess you can install to disk.>> <<@justusstern9125 says : Nope, thnx .>> <<@thepurplehornet says : Can you cover how to make Bluetooth work in the BSDs? I installed GhostBSD because it was supposed to be best for beginners. And it was pretty easy to install. And even adding KDE was easy. But I was disappointed to find Bluetooth configuration impossible to understand. And I was also saddened to find Windows Key shortcuts were not available.>> <<@jreaves11 says : I am considering movinb from Google OS to Linux Presently Google dos a good job for me. Linus simply offers software which is abhorrent to google OS.>> <<@KevAF_ says : i love how he said alternative to windows or linux. No one should use Mac>> <<@franciscom.e.9780 says : Greetings, and thank you for this video. I have just installed GhostBSD on a HUAWEI MateBook D14, 8 MB of RAM and 1 GB mechanical HDD. It worked absolutely fine at first try, and it is really fast. It only uses 2.5 MB of RAM with Firefox, a PDF viewer and LibreOffice. Vi is really vi, not Vim. The only trouble I found consiste in the bright screen keys, that don't work. Ext4 drives are not supported, but NTFS works pretty well. (I just had to download rsync, aspell/ispell, LibreOffice, and Emacs for my needs.) Best wishes from México!>> <<@trickvro says : 16:07 goodbyeSystem>> <<@TheNightquaker says : It seems the helloSystem has been abandoned unfortunately. The last stable release was in 2023, while the last development release was in February 2024. Since then, no changes have been made (except a small revert on GitHub 5 months ago), and no fixes are being applied to the issues piling up on GitHub. It's really unfortunate since the system looks very interesting, but the developer seems to be focused on other projects these days.>> <<@RadiAnssi says : last time i checked a lot of hardware doesnt work on it. community wasnt helpful either, they just suggest to buy supported hardware or write the drivers yourself, ie. they dont know how to make it work either but make it sound like the person asking for help is at fault for having a question>> <<@Szederp says : It is a tragedy that I cannot install this. I got the most recent versions of both GhostBSD and Virtualbox....then I tried to use VmWare as a last hope but to no avail. I always get the "cannot receive a new file system stream: out of space. I'm very new to Unix systems and I haven't the faintest clue as in what is going wrong. There is enough space, I use the iso file downloadable from GhostBSD's website....and I get get the same problem every time. Both in VirtualBox and in VmWare. if anyone has a clue, please tell me. Thank you.>> <<@chronosschiron says : love freebsd>> <<@jungleboy7477 says : BSD is stable but the software can be a few years out of date. It's not possible to run flatpak, snap or appimage applications in BSD. ffmpeg is still on version 6. The 266/VVC decoder is only available in ffmpeg 7 or newer. The mpv player on BSD has been updated to version 0.40 but the underlying ffmpeg is still version 6 so it's not possible to play 266/VVC video. mpv on snap on Ubuntu is similar - it's running mpv 0.40 but the underlying ffmpeg is still version 6. Reading the forums it seems that ffmpeg 7 is being ported to BSD but it could take a while. The flatpak version of mpv is now on ffmpeg 8. Wayland support in BSD is non-existent at the moment as far as I can see. Gnome and KDE are going Wayland only leaving MATE, Xfce, Cinnamon and a few others as the only x11 based desktop environments.>> <<@Tux-YT says : While BSD lovers boasts it's better than linux and will over take linux in a few years, I fell that WILL NEVER happen for a long long time. It's not even close to being used by ordinary computer users. My personal issues include not installing or installed but left at terminal , no wifi or printer support and the community and documentation falls very short. I continue to check up on BSD options -- this video clearly shows where BSD is at so far Not looking too good atm.>> <<@Tux-YT says : 14:00 It's misleading to say a distribution claims it's for beginners while it is far from the truth! >> <<@WaltKurtz68 says : So midnight bsd and hellosystem still have some work to do. Nomad bsd looks great but the achilles heel will probably the speed of operation with it running from a USB drive. GhostBSD is not for me, I recently installed it on two different pc's, On one it didn't understand the (Intel) igpu and on the other one (with a discrete gpu card) it couldn't get beyond 1024x768. All very mainstream hardware, nothing exotic. But I'm not giving up. Some day I'll find a BSD that (properly) works!>> <<@rmccain99 says : Is Wayland doing anything for BSD? Anyone please chime in or reply. X11 needs to go.>> <<@minnesnowtan9970 says : Cinnamon? Why is that missing?>> <<@richardpalmanteer says : I've heard of BSD's but wasn't aware there were so many to choose from. Thanks for the introduction to them.>> <<@prodigal_southerner says : "look at me, I try to make myself appealing to corporations.">> <<@theperfectionist1607 says : I thought Midnight BSD was dead>> <<@SuvroBasu says : Why would one install hello systems on Mac hardware when MacOS itself uses the FreeBSD kernel?>>
