FreeBSD 15.0’s installer to gain option to install a full KDE Plasma desktop environment

One of the things lacking from the FreeBSD installation routine is the easy installation of a full desktop experience, from X11 all the way up to a login manager, desktop environment, and its applications. It seems this might finally change for FreeBSD 15.0, a

FreeBSD is making strides toward supporting Plasma as an out-of-the-box installer option by the 15.0 release. That means a smoother setup for folks who want a functional desktop right from install

Check out the GitHub issue that’s driving this forward:

It’s an exciting step forward for more desktop usability on FreeBSD. Thoughts?

What’s one bastille sub-command you use daily — and one you’ve never touched?

We’re curious about usage patterns.

Okay, I did something... time to provide BSD boxes at @BoxyBSD a bit closer to our buddies in Asia! #RUNBSD

There are more shells than Bash and I'm curious to see the % of how many people uses wich one of the more or less classic shells. Choose your preferred one.

Now with updated art!

A minor #Ruby version upgrade in #FreeBSD broke my #Jekyll static site generator. Again.

My flow consists of a #Git hook triggering Jekyll, after which the generated site is rsync’d to the web server.

Question now is whether to keep it fast and simple, and migrate my #Forgejo instance to some flavor of #Linux or to complicate things and set up a Linux based Forgejo runner on a separate VM…

This sounds interesting.

Kassiber takes an executable file from the host and runs it in the given jail, taking care of any library dependencies. This allows you to execute commands in jails without transferring their executable files or required shared library dependencies into them.

Folks, did anyone successfully migrate their TrueNAS CORE (#FreeBSD based) to a vanilla FreeBSD? I'm looking at options (including zVault) but I'm open to get back to something simpler, since my usage of TrueNAS is fairly basic (few jails, rclone for backup). Boosts appreciated!

Use `bastille zfs` to get/set ZFS properties on jails.

Easily tune compression, quotas, and more from the Bastille CLI.

One of the dumbest design decisions of #GTK is to have "warp scrolling" the default primary mouse button behavior.

Previously, if you middle-clicked the scrollbar, it would jump to that position within the buffer. Primary click moved up/down by page. GTK 3 reversed this for no reason.

There are some limited scenarios where jump scrolling is desired, but you should never break a standard UX convention without a tremendous benefit. There wasn't one.
