Woohoo BSD week is fun, anyone in here giving it a go? If you are what B
SD did you choose?I've gone for FreeBSD, I installed
 Xorg, sddm, i3-gaps, firefox, alacritty, syncterm (of course), auda
cious, and am having fungenerally, playing with FreeBSD.
Have I encountered anything difficult or broken along the way? Well 
I'm in a VM not on bare metal, so it wouldn't be fair of me to
make any judgements, but here's a list of things that didn't just work out o
f the box (so to speak);1920x1080 video resolution
. I had to install from ports the xf86-video-qxl driver because that
's what I need for running FreeBSD ina QEMU vm. Once I had 
this installed it was fairly straight forward just adding some confi
guration to the Xorg configuration toallow it to use the qx
l driver, and now I am in full res, and not stuck at 1280x720, which
 itself wasn't that bad.That's it. No really, ever
ything just all worked out for me, which I'm super stoked about. I w
onder if it's going to be as easy onactual hardware. I migh
t be putting that to the test soon, I think I could do almost everyt
hing I need in BSD, but it won't make mydaily driver unless
 I can use Steam and game in it, which I can't, I don't think, yet.
Would love to know your experiences using BSD, whether you're using 
it just now for the BSD week or if you've been using it a while
or longer already.Have fun, that's most important af
ter all =)---Best regards,
