#freebsd install desktop

[autolenaphilia]

I got a Steam Deck last year, and it’s such a great machine. It’s obviously inspired by Nintendo Switch, but it’s a lot better than a Switch.

The most important part is that it runs PC games. It’s fundamentally a Linux gaming PC in the form of a handheld console. There are a lot more games available than any console and and PC games both on Steam and GOG are a lot cheaper than console ones. You can get old or indie games for as cheap as 1-3 euro during sales. It’s a tremendous advantage for the deck over its console competitors.

And while the obvious intent of the deck is to get more people to buy games from Steam, it isn’t a walled garden at all. The deck launches into Steam when you boot it up, but you can go into desktop mode, and then it functions as a normal PC running a Linux distro. From there you can install Lutris or Heroic Games Launcher, and use it to easily install games you bought from GOG and Itch.io.

You can also do things like use the official dock or an unofficial usb-c hub to hook the deck up to a monitor, mouse and keyboard to use it as a desktop PC. Or you can hook it up to a tv to use it as home console.

The hardware is also a lot more powerful than a switch, the demanding triple-a games it can play is actually impressive. Although this comes with the natural disadvantage that it’s bulkier too. Putting more powerful PC parts demands more space for them. The deck is not something I bring with me outside. But then again I didn’t even do that with the 3DS, which was actually of a practical size to do that. The deck is portable enough that I can comfortably play lying in bed, which is how I always used my handheld consoles. So it’s perfect for me, but maybe not if you want to play it on the bus or something. It can probably be a fun addition to your luggage on longer trips though.

Of course, as mentioned, the Steam Deck uses Linux. This has both advantages and disadvantages. The main advantage is that it allows Valve to customize the operating system to make it fit with the machine it’s running on. The Deck’s SteamOS feels really well-integrated into the hardware, like how a proper console OS should be like. It’s not that dissimilar to how Sony used FreeBSD to make Playstation’s OS. Windows would not allow for this amount of customization and would not integrate as well.

And the open source nature of most Linux development allows Valve and the user to use existing open-source Linux software to their advantage. For example, the desktop mode is largely not a Valve creation, it’s an existing desktop environment for Linux, KDE Plasma. Yet it extends what the user can do with the deck to a great extent, like for installing non-steam games.

The main disadvantage to the Deck using Linux is that most PC games are built for Windows and don’t run natively under Linux. To run games built for Windows, the Deck has to run it through Proton, a compatibility layer which is Valve’s own gaming-focused version of Wine. Wine/Proton is far from perfect, sometimes games require extensive tinkering to work, or only run with serious issues, or don’t run at all, no matter what you do. Sometimes a game not working with Wine due to some random but serious issue that comes naturally from running a Windows executable on a Linux system via a compatibility layer. Sometimes it’s due to things like a multiplayer’s game anti-cheat system requiring access to the Windows kernel, and it will block a Linux pc from running the game because it has no Windows kernel.

This is however not as big a problem as it might otherwise be. Most games work, more or less. Valve has put a lot of work and money into both their own Proton and the Wine project as a whole, and they work a lot better than they did 10 years ago. Many run perfectly out of the box, because they are native, or play nice with Proton. Some require mere minor tinkering, like using a different version of Proton. And I generally don’t play multiplayer games, or if I do they don’t have draconian anti-cheats, so the games that are blocked because of anti-cheat are no big loss to me. The Steam Deck not running Fortnite is a plus in my book.

And we shouldn’t forget the Steam Deck verified system. Basically Valve employees check if the game runs out of the box with no issues on the Deck. They get a verified rating if they work with no issue, including both proton compatibility but also things like the controls working nice and the text being legible on the deck’s small screen. They also get a “playable” rating if the game runs to an acceptable standard but with tinkering required or other minor issues.

This is a good system. If you dislike tinkering, you can just buy and play games on steam with a verified rating, and the deck will work like a normal console for you, but with a lot cheaper games. It’s a good way to get people used to consoles into PC gaming, which is probably the point of the Deck.

And if you want more than deck verified games from Steam on the Deck, you are given the freedom to do it. I’ve gotten officially non-supported steam games to run on the deck by installing and using proton-GE and I’ve installed and played games from GOG.

The Steam Deck is really how a Linux PC for the common people should work. An easy and slick experience for casual users, but freedom and customization given to those that want it.

Linix-Unix-BSD Laptop Journey~~ (and some questions again)

yet another question~~ tho up to my own musings and uncertainty at this point~~

I'm too afraid to try to install FreeBSD cause I'm worried I won't be able to dig up some needed internet info and that makes me feel dumb~~ is the Domain Name not the Hostname or name of the wifi? or would it be my ISP's website or something?

I like tech but not knowing this makes me feel stupid lol even though I'm probably not~~~ and that's just anxiety lying to me~~~

also is there any point in moving from Linux Mint Debian Edition 6 to Debian 11 disks that I have burned?

the only one with the zoom feature (unless I install something if I can find it) is the Cinnamon Desktop, and at that point I see no point on dropping Mint for pure Debian in that case....

need accessibility for my blind butt (despite also being stubborn and not using it half the time anyway lol)

ALSO none of the debian live CDs that I tried saw my WIFI and idk why~~ and they're all debian 11...

might need to download newer versions and burn them to disk I guess~~

or maybe if I installed one of them anyway, and actually hooked it to ethernet, then installed updates whether it would see my wifi then? idk

found a distro that doesn't use SystemD called PCLinuxOS and thought about giving that a try, but idk if it's good for someone like me, but I got a handle sort of on fedora back in the day.

So currently stuck on linux mint debian edition cause I'm afraid to give freebsd a try due to maybe not having the network information requited and idk where to find it~~ and cause debian just straight up wouldn't see my wifi~~ tho I've also said before in this post that idk if it's a good idea or not to go from linux mint debian, to straight debian.... cause I'm going to be stuck with the Cinnamon desktop anyway~~

like yesterday I spent all morning booting into all the debian live CDs that I had; except for the standard which I think is GNOME, and none of them could even SEE my wifi or ANY wifi

now I hate that I seem like the person that just wants things to work instead of tinker w stuff to get it to work, cause that's part of the fun and frustration of being on linux I suppose~~~ and I really hope I'm smart enough to figure stuff out~~

would be happy to eventually jump to a more unix like OS cause I believe the backbone of the internet is UNIX anyway~~ :)

I like to think I'm a nerd and a techie but at the same time think I'm stupid and don't know anything~~ if I'm being brutally honest w myself~~ but I guess you got to be feeling stupid to learn huh?

tldr; and making the questions more easily found~~ my journey through linux/bsd computer systems so far, and where I'm at....

Is it worth it to install pure debian if I'm already using linux mint debian (and the wifi actually works), should I get away from SystemD and try to install PCLinuxOS? or FreeBSD? am I smart enough to install FreeBSD? What network information do I need and where can I find it?

and yet another random question at the bottom cause I remembered a linux youtube channel where they talked about a bunch of stuff way back in the 2010s I think called "Jupiter Broadcasting" what happened to them?

wanted to go eventually to FreeBSD cause it's more unix like than linux, and i think more cohesive as a whole as opposed to bits and pieces mossaic'd together in linux.... also if it is more unix based, unix as far as I'm aware is the backbone of the internet if I'm remembering correctly~~ and I'd be happy to use it~~~

so idk what I'm doing~~ lol, stay on linux mint debian cause it works? try to get FreeBSD installed, try to find out how to fix debian not seeing my WIFI (I'd hoped that if I installed it and connected it to ethernet that updates would fix that), or install PCLinuxOS that I found? cause it looks neat~~~

more history about myself~~ as dumb as it sounds, or maybe not, my dad was into tech, he'd built his first computer and if it wasn't for him pirating some version of windows, we never would've had it, lol. but ye he was a techie, and he showed me the 1995 movie "hackers". I watched that on repeat through my teenage years for some reason~~ the music was good, and now I learnt that that's not actually bow hacking works, lol it's a cheesy film.... but that sparked an interest in technology and eventually led me to finding linux to begin with. and Unix~~ cause I thought it was something that my dad and I could do together~~~ but we never did...... but the techie interest stuck~~~~ I need to rewatch that film and find the soundtrack CDs I have~~~ been a while~~~~

second guessing it am I even smart enough to run anything other than linux mint anyway? probably yes but I doubt my own intelligence, lol. especially I think anyone irl I've shown my writing to or talked to say that I'm "smart as a whip" but I don't see it.... :(

[dotslashchloe]

I remember running a terrible Zoostorm laptop when I was 12 and It had 1GB of RAM in a time when machines came with at least 2 as a standard option, and some people believed that you'd never need more than 4GB for anything.

Image source

My parents bought me this thing because I had caused a little bit of an issue in our house, and that was my constant need for floppy disks post year 2000. We ran an Amiga 1200 in the dining room of our home as it was what my parents both used to code on in the mid 90's. We had tons of software for that thing but the coolest by far was a programming environment called AMOS. It used a proprietary (read: now unsupported) programming language called AMOS BASIC and the only resources we had for the language was whatever my dad remembered and the official language guide which, if i remember correctly, was thick enough to beat a goat to death with.

Image credit

The guide was sometimes really good at explaining language features and best use cases for mid 90's game development methodologies.

You can actually still download AMOS and run it on a Windows machine, or OSX and GNU/Linux if you have the tools to run applications meant for windows.

I moved from an Amiga sporting 2MB of chip RAM and 8MB of fast RAM to a Windows 7 laptop with a whopping, for the time, Gigabyte of Random Access Memory.

I couldn't wait to see the types of software that I could make with 32 bit technology and how I could use new... Oh, it crashed.

Image credit

Windows 7, at least on my machine, was a garbage fire. Somewhere along the way when we transitioned from floppy disks to hard drives and hard drives to solid state, programmers suddenly forgot how to make good decisions. The amount of driver errors, lag spikes, and crashes I experienced on that platform made me hate Windows, and even to this day, I really don't trust it.

I once turned my laptop on to find Windows using 90% of my available RAM, and it wasn't even running anything.

This frustration led me to look further afield. I knew that I liked the UNIX like systems from helping my dad run a FreeBSD server, and because of that, I very nearly bought a mac. Nearly. I still like to have a usable computer and do things that Apple don't want me to do, like change my settings in a way that matters.

Image credits

I finally found out enough to flash Arch to my USB drive and install it using a guide i found on a reddit thread. after editing all of my settings, i pressed enter, sat back... And bricked the fucking thing. Archinstall was a blessing from the gods, but we didn't have that yet.

2nd choice was Debian. Not only was it pre-configured out of the box, it had a package manager that made sense and came with development tools already built in. I played around with a few other distributions over the years until i discovered that they're all either Debian or Arch with a different package manager and desktop environment.

GNU/Linux blew my mind. The fact that all of this software was just out there for free fort anybody to use and change astounded me, and it still does to this day. You need to run a piece of hardware that nobody has made a driver for in about 20 years? Debian probably has it built in. You want to make video games? Debian can do that flawlessly. You want to play video games? Steam installs natively and comes with Proton!

By the time I was ready to go to College at 16, I was using Linux full time, and Archinstall had been added to the installation ISO (thank god). I used arch for all of my studies there, and all of my studies at University. I passed my degree because my software was free. I even had a C# compiling and running for my Programming 101 classes.

I do occasionally run Windows at some point from time to time, but i always make sure that WSL is installed. I do not see the need to download a piece of software to do something when Debian has the command built-in.

If it were not for the FOSS community, and GNU/Linux as a whole, I probably would not be the programmer that I am today, and I wouldn't have been able to learn many of the complex topics I needed for the field I have worked in due to the closed, corporate nature of the vast majority of software out there.

Sorry for yapping.

[clatterbane]

Okay! I have been playing around with VMs again, and it seems some mouse issues I was having with both GhostBSD and (most likely) MidnightBSD may be directly related to trying to run them inside QEMU/KVM!

It's apparently kinda messed up, coming straight down through FreeBSD. But, that person is claiming to have figured out some workarounds.

It's too late tonight, especially since I have an appointment tomorrow and really do not need to get caught up in this shit and then realize that I only have time for a short nap or a needed hair wash before we have to leave. (Know thyself... 😑)

But yeah, I finally seem to have found at least something close to the magic search terms, trying to troubleshoot this bullshit again.

[april-rainer]

While we’re on the subject, in descending order of how disruptive it might be to change your computer usage patterns:

Free-and-open-source (FOSS) operating systems that are less likely to make a low spec computer moan:

Web browser that isn’t chrome:

Extensions I recommend to make that web browsing experience safer and less annoying:

(Noscript takes a while to configure to your preferences but if you never whitelist doubleclick and googleads and amazonads you’re unlikely to ever see an ad again which besides basting improving you individual experience is important for safe computer usage — ad company don’t really investigate the people who pay them so people who distribute malware often do it embedded in an ad)

Me: oh yeah, if you think school photography is hard now, try imagining doing this with film.

The new girl: what’s film?

Me: … film. Like… film that goes in a film camera.

New girl: what’s that mean?

Me: … before cameras were digital.

New girl: how did you do it before digital?

Me:… with film? I haven’t had enough coffee for this conversation

"...users may soon enjoy an easier, more streamlined path to setting up a desktop environment..."

La domanda che mi sorge spontanea è: "ma chi cazzo te l'ha chi te l'ha chiesto ?"

Su FreeBSD non ci deve stare NULLA di facile, così che le clickoscimmie restano fuori dalle palle, quello è un posto per pochi, eletti nerd barbuti, che si lavano poco e non hanno vita sociale.

[memedical-attention]

You should give one a try sometime!

FreeBSD: Excels at high-performance networking and server performance, but also has the best support for modern components of desktop computing, like laptop power management, Wayland, and Nvidia graphics cards. Generally the best in terms of new hardware, but isn’t as good as the others at supporting archaic systems (especially as they are dropping 32-bit support in the next release). Has the best software support, often able to run Linux applications through a compatibility layer and with Wine support recently arriving.

OpenBSD: Extremely secure by default. Has a pledge/veil system that can heavily restrict applications while retaining their functionality, enforces best security practices by default (especially with network configuration), and is heavily integrated with its networking and security features (like httpd and pf). Generally better than FreeBSD on old hardware, and maintains great support (better than Linux) for aging CPU architectures like 32-bit PowerPC and PA-RISC, but has poor support for WiFi, Nvidia GPUs, and other modern hardware.

NetBSD: Is the most portable of all, with ports for VAX, M68k, 32-bit SPARC, and obscure configurations of PowerPC, MIPS, PA-RISC, and SuperH hardware still being maintained along with the base AMD64 port. Apart from that, peripheral support is… alright, and software support is essentially limited to open-source code. It runs under very little memory and CPU, and can easily be stripped down even further. It feels the oldest of all, which makes sense, considering it is the one with the least changes since being forked off of the original BSD source. I find myself using it instead of Alpine Linux when I need a tiny system that’s easy to configure. I’d say it’s the most awkward to use as a desktop, but it can definitely be done.

All of them benefit from a tightly-integrated software suite; the userland and kernel are always in lock-step, as opposed to Linux, which can often become disjointed and suffers from a lack of a standardized userland. (This can be a pro or con, depending on your view).

They’re all a bit more specialized than Linux. You can modify a Debian or Arch install to be good at whatever you need it to do, but the BSDs each have their own niche, outside of which they tend to be less useful than Linux. That niche tends to be server-oriented, but you can push them toward the desktop if you’d like (they tend to be pretty good at running a light X desktop, which can be good for older hardware that can’t handle modern desktop Linux).

I’d highly recommend checking one out. FreeBSD on an AMD64 or Raspberry Pi server machine is probably the best place to start for someone familiar with Linux, but my personal favorite is OpenBSD. There’s some differences as opposed to Linux, especially in terms of the design philosophy, but if you’re familiar with the typical UNIX utilities, you’ll be fine.

Thoughts on *BSD (the family of OSes)

I have no experience with BSD, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD or any other BSD. :)

The BSD license is cool? I'm not deep enough into supercomputing or mainframe/server admin to have any opinions beyond that -- they don't seem as suited to the desktop as Linux (begrudgingly) is. Not really their fault, what with all the lawsuits in the 90s, but we have to live in the real world, don't we?

[nixcraft]

Some dependencies are left behind when you uninstall or remove packages, taking up disk space. In this quick tutorial, I will explain how to remove ALL orphaned packages installed as a dependency and no longer required by any package on Arch Linux:

Are you using FreeBSD instead of Arch Linux? See how to remove unwanted/unused package dependencies in FreeBSD:

[sl33py-g4m3r]

excited to be using linux on my big screen computer~~

a cool thing I've noticed is that linux I think takes up significantly less space than windows ever did. and I'm just running the cinnamon desktop~~!!

out of the 256 gb of space on the initial OS drive, I've got 217 gb left. windows I forgot how much it left me with tho...

Linux mint is nice so far~~ especially the second hard drive being password protected to mount; rather than being accessible to anyone using the computer.

installed vlc as a media player and now idk what other applications I'd need.

or if I even have enough space currently to try to get steam games working. as the terabyte hard drive is cluttered with anime and music I've saved. and where all of my data is stored separate from the os.

one thing I lost tho that I had forgotten about was my progress in cookie clicker, as I was playing through that, and i don't remember when my last backup was or how much I've lost. By the time I realized I hadn't backed it up, the install was already in progress and it was far too late.

I like cinnamon so far~~ the keyboard shortcuts to reveal all the different desktops,, even found zoom features that are really useful. I thought you had to pinch or push your fingers apart while pushing the hotkey toggle like you do on iphones to zoom in on pictures and stuff, but no. just slide your fingers from the top of the touchpad to the bottom to zoom in, and reverse to go back to small.

I never used zoom on windows; much to my detriment, lol. bad vision is bad. I'm saying it again even tho it might not be relevant here, I'm legally blind. left eye bad vision, right eye none whatsoever. I never liked on board zoom on windows and i'm not sure why... this is nice.

I'm still excited cause I've always wanted to run linux on my big screened gaming pc, but it would never boot. come to find out I was installing grub in the wrong place... needed it on dev/sda1 instead of dev/sda itself. I guess because 1 is the first part of the disk?

hopefully much less spywarey than windows~~ and more secure. I've always assumed that linux/unix/bsd were more secure than windows in general.

funny enough when I first found these types of operating systems as a teenager a long time ago, I jumped into the deep end and immediately tried FreeBSD first. then backed off and stuck with fedora, opensuse for a bit, then to the more user friendly stuff like ubuntu, and linux mint. then many years later I stopped liking what whomever makes ubuntu was doing, and switched to mint, but they still used ubuntu's base, so now I use debian based stuff.

there's my entire fore into linux from being a teenager to now, lol. also very fanboyish high school report on how linux/unix was better than windows. before I even started using linux proper. ahhhh the cringe.

sucks a bunch of corporate stuff doesn't work with linux; cause I'm always seeing like the eye doctors operating systems being windows, and I'm always like "why don't you use linux?" the reason is they want their technology and stuff to work. like it won't on linux?

positive experience and a positive rant~~~ still going to tag it as rant anyway tho~~

[soup-mother]

very scientifically ranking unix and unix like systems I've recently fiddled with, based on whether i actually successfully got them installed:

arch linux: so easy peasy it put me to sleep, genuinely and not as a joke. absolute breeze

openindiana: real easy and nice tbh. i like open indiana :)

debian: i mean yeah it works out of the box but for some reason in virtualbox it goes straight into gnome (ew) instead of the installer process. had to fiddle to get a different DE but pretty easy (also ew gnome)

fireflybsd: genuinely probably the best text based installation I've ever used. a lot more enjoyable (but more involved) than arch and a good time all around.

freebsd: took fiddling but i got a desktop environment working on it! I'm incredibly proud of that and it felt like a milestone in being able to actually do a computer™. freebsd will forever have a soft spot in my heart <3

bucket of shame 🪣:

void linux: partitioning is a fuck, i am confused woman, 161836281 dead cops (didn't get it working). weirdly wants you to do all the installation in a desktop environment but as a text based installer from the terminal (unless I'm getting things mixed up) xfce is nice tho.

ghostbsd: literally just refused to actually install, idk why. like full on refused to recognise the disk space being allocated to it. weird

openbsd: the one that got away, i literally couldn't understand some of the things it expected me to do no matter how much i read the documentation. I'll get it eventually

idk why i wrote this i just thought it was funny and wanted to talk about computer :)

disk partitioning for void Linux is too confusing for me so I'm going to do a little pout until the disk magically partitions itself for me and i don't have to worry about Linux swap and whatnot

The Opensource OS Buffet

This post is a summary of my journey to find a replacement OS to Windows on my new computer.

Technically the computer is just contemporary 2022 by any account, it's not bleeding edge nor antiquated. It's no speed demon nor slouch I think: -> Intel N6000 + UHD Graphics -> 8GB RAM + 256GB SSD -> 1080p OLED touch screen -> WiFi + BT -> Front + rear cameras Nothing that any modern OS couldn't handle.. right?

I do have a little list of what to look for in the OS that is going to run this computer: -> light on RAM, CPU, SSD -> sprightly touch friendly UI -> easy-ish configuration -> supports the hardware i.e. CPU, GPU, WiFi, BT, etc. -> pi-hole + unbound to make the internet pleasant-er -> runs Google Chrome & Brave browsers Not terribly demanding by any measure.. right??

So off to DistroWatch.com to check out what's on offer in the world of Opensource OS!

>>> Long story short, I spent weeks experimenting ... >>>

Never have I thought that I would cycle through so many OS to find so few that works with my hardware.

I've cycled through MX Linux / Debian / Manjaro / Slax / Slitaz / PopOS / EndeavourOS / FreeBSD / NomadBSD with no success.

For a time I felt that Manjaro was going to be the OS to be. It supported most of the hardware sans the cameras, ran all of the apps I need .. but pi-hole + unbound somehow always didn't end well. pi-hole would work and unbound too, albeit not in tandem, I just couldn't get them to play together, that's probably my fault for not knowing to configure each that well. It was also rather heavy on RAM at almost 4GB which probably is GNOME's fault. Yes I used GNOME, only because it has better touch screen support than the other Window Mangers and Desktop Environments.

Manjaro GNOME has its quirks, sometimes, something glitches and the UI craps out on me, but generally it works well, is sprightly, but it sips quite a bit of battery juice when in Sleep mode., and Hibernating is almost akin to rebooting which doesn't bode well for just picking up the computer to do a quick search or read or watch something.

The Debians and BSDs were wrote off shortly after their first boot. The problem was they couldn't detect the OLED display. I couldn't control brightness, set resolution or adjust color at all, which Manjaro somewhat managing with exception color adjustment.

Alas poor Slitaz .. honestly, I was hoping that it would be the one that works, but it didn't even manage to boot. I was quite dismayed.

So that is why I almost resigned to using Manjaro seeing that it was the only Linux that actually-mostly-worked on this computer, but .. there was one more OS I wanted to try on this computer, it came on my radar only because it can now run Linux apps, so just maybe, it could fare slightly better than Manjaro..

-> ChromeOS Flex

Back in the day, I'm already aware about Neverware and what they were doing to bring ChromeOS to the average Intel / AMD x86 / x86-64 computers. When they were bought over by Google, their product, CloudReady, became ChromeOS Flex. Now that it is Google-fied, tehre is a whole lot of convenience in keeping my browsing preferences in sync across different computers.

With Google incorporating Linux containers in ChromeOS Flex, this was one avenue I was keen to explore to satisfy my desire for OS-wide ad blocking & DNS identity privacy.

And I am pleased to have finally managed to tinker my way to a working installation of pi-hole with unbound in ChromeOS Flex. It's a little klunky, having to start the Linux VM on every boot for pi-hole+unbund to work, but it works.. for now.

Many quantitative studies of free/open-source software focus on topics including market share and reliability, with numerous studies specifically examining Linux. The Linux market is growing rapidly, and the revenue of servers, desktops, and packaged software running Linux was expected to[needs update] exceed $35.7 billion by 2008. Analysts and proponents attribute the relative success of Linux to its security, reliability, low cost, and freedom from vendor lock-in.

Desktops and laptopsAccording to web server statistics (that is, based on the numbers recorded from visits to websites by client devices), as of November 2018, the estimated market share of Linux on desktop computers is around 2.1%. In comparison, Microsoft Windows has a market share of around 87%, while macOS covers around 9.7%. Web serversW3Cook publishes stats that use the top 1,000,000 Alexa domains, which as of May 2015 estimate that 96.55% of web servers run Linux, 1.73% run Windows, and 1.72% run FreeBSD. W3Techs publishes stats that use the top 10,000,000 Alexa domains, updated monthly and as of November 2016 estimate that 66.7% of web servers run Linux/Unix, and 33.4% run Microsoft Windows. In September 2008, Microsoft's then-CEO Steve Ballmer stated that 60% of web servers ran Linux, versus 40% that ran Windows Server.[168]IDC's Q1 2007 report indicated that Linux held 12.7% of the overall server market at that time; this estimate was based on the number of Linux servers sold by various companies, and did not include server hardware purchased separately that had Linux installed on it later.Mobile devicesAndroid, which is based on the Linux kernel, has become the dominant operating system for smartphones. During the second quarter of 2013, 79.3% of smartphones sold worldwide used Android. Android is also a popular operating system for tablets, being responsible for more than 60% of tablet sales as of 2013. According to web server statistics, as of December 2014 Android has a market share of about 46%, with iOS holding 45%, and the remaining 9% attributed to various niche platforms. Film productionFor years Linux has been the platform of choice in the film industry. The first major film produced on Linux servers was 1997's Titanic. Since then major studios including DreamWorks Animation, Pixar, Weta Digital, and Industrial Light & Magic have migrated to Linux. According to the Linux Movies Group, more than 95% of the servers and desktops at large animation and visual effects companies use Linux. Use in government Linux distributions have also gained popularity with various local and national governments. News of the Russian military creating its own Linux distribution has also surfaced, and has come to fruition as the G.H.ost Project. The Indian state of Kerala has gone to the extent of mandating that all state high schools run Linux on their computers. China uses Linux exclusively as the operating system for its Loongson processor family to achieve technology independence. In Spain, some regions have developed their own Linux distributions, which are widely used in education and official institutions, like gnuLinEx in Extremadura and Guadalinex in Andalusia. France and Germany have also taken steps toward the adoption of Linux. North Korea's Red Star OS, developed since 2002, is based on a version of Fedora Linux.

Mouseless Desktop in FreeBSD + Openbox

Hey,

You can run a desktop system without a mouse. Just simulate mouse movements and mouse clicks with your keyboard.

Basically, we use these:

- ~/.config/openbox/rc.xml

- xdotool

- xev

1. I am using FreeBSD 12, and installed Xorg, OpenBox, and xdotool from packages.

2. The OpenBox configuration file is in your home directory: ~/.config/openbox/rc.xml . Go to the keyboard section, marked as <keyboard> ... </keyboard>. Here, just add keybinds for the mouse movements and mouse clicks. The tool xev can be used to get the name of certain keys.

3. This is a very simple example. I use the numpads. You could use a WASD approach as well. It uses slow mouse movement with numpads (20 pixel), and fast movements with numpad+window key (50 pixel). Eventually left and right mouse click.

<keyboard> ...

Enable Display Brightness Buttons on Panasonic ToughBook FZ 55 Mk2 in FreeBSD 13.0

Panasonic Toughbook FZ 55 Mk2 is a relatively new and my expectations weren't very high getting all hardware to work out of the box. One annoying and unexpected issue, after installing Gnome desktop, was inability to use Fn+F1 and Fn+F2 keys to adjust screen brightness.

In FreeBSD, there are multiple utilities, besides setting sysctl variables directly, which can be used to adjust brightness. Some which worked are xrandr and backlight.

There are few caveats that need taken into account.

First, the Panasonic ACPI module must be loaded during boot.

$ vim /boot/loader.conf acpi_panasonic_load="YES"

Make sure to check out the man page for the module, it is well written and contains important set up information.

Second, load the ACPI video kernel module. Panasonic Toughbook FZ 55 Mk2 uses Intel Iris Xe integrated graphics. The graphics support is enabled by adding i915kms.ko module. The critical detail here is that acpi_video kernel module has to be loaded *after* loading the graphics module. This is important if you edit /etc/rc.conf manually. It is taken care of if you use kld_list to add modules. My /etc/rc.conf looks like this:

kld_list="/boot/modules/i915kms.so acpi_video cuse fusefs"

Finally, devd rules must be written to actually do screen adjustments. This is where the panasonic_acpi(4) module document came handy. I wrote the following rules in a new file:

$ sudo vim /usr/local/etc/devd/brightness.conf notify 10 { match "system" "ACPI"; match "subsystem" "Panasonic"; match "notify" "0x81"; action "/usr/bin/backlight decr 5" } notify 10 { match "system" "ACPI"; match "subsystem" "Panasonic"; match "notify" "0x82"; action "/usr/bin/backlight incr 5" }

Restart devd daemon:

$ sudo service devd restart

Enjoy.
