Setting Up a FreeBSD Desktop Takes me 15 minutes and the longest time
I Just wait for packages to Download. And for that I don't need some
obscure script and I get KDE Plasma.

I know you mean Well, but I think anyone who's genuinely interested in
FreeBSD is going to so the Setup Work themselves...

I like how one of the listed "features" is disabling some of the few
security mitigations that FreeBSD actually has.

It autoinstalls gnu nano? cursed

Will this even work? The install step all has sudo's and FreeBSD
doesn't come pre-installed with sudo. My daily driver still doesn't
have sudo.

Also... wouldn't it be easier to just install GhostBSD? It's FreeBSD
with a GUI out of the box, no pulling from git and running more
scripts. You boot right into desktop even for installation.

Maybe you work in english. Installing a different keymap in X is
already making my head ache.

KDE has a GUI to choose my keymap.

And on i3 I've used setxkbmap before to Switch to qwertz.

But it's very helpful for those who like customize their system :)

It’s a bash script that installs… bash. No, it wouldn’t.

A very Linux like approach to FreeBSD.

Oh. I didn't even notice that it was bash. Nice catch. Between the
sudo miss and the bash shell. He sounds a lot more like a Linux guy
than a BSD guy really with all these Linuxisms.

It’s a nice setup anyhow—likely best that someone who doesn’t notice
these things can’t run it blindly.
