Hi, new to your channel, why do you use windows? isn't freebsd able to run a desktop environment?

It would be really interesting to try booting Linux and passing through the GPU and a PCI soundcard (that has drivers) to a Windows 98 virtual machine. With the price of period accurate hardware going up, and with 86box having performance issues with higher system specs (not to mention no direct display passthrough option for a CRT), it would be really interesting to see how virtualization fares. I've thought about doing that kind of project, because running a Win98 or XP virtual machine on a relatively modern setup is snappier than hardware of that era even without graphics acceleration.

Good to know

great insight, thanks

This is quite wrong comparison. You comparing FreeBSD's ports system to manual building, which is not right. Gentoo has portage system which is literally based on BSD's ports

I recently picked up the 5x pro, and it sucks! I used wobbly pixels guides and the thing just never looks good. Don't waste your money.

beautiful vibrant setup!

Wow you explained so much and now I want to definitely get the RetroTink 4K! Thanks for sharing you experience with this device! now just wondering if a cheap component cable switch from amazon will pair good when using the gamecube, xbox OG and PS2 with my setup.

Been waiting for a quality upscaler with excellent CRT filter options _and_ an HDMI input, and the RetroTink 4K is definitely it. Great review, especially for this moderately tech-savvy old-timer gamer!

OMG i just try it with my pixel 6 pro and plexamp. got the same notification error!!! thank for the bug report!!!

Thanks for this, spent hours looking for a solution to this, your video was the only this I found with the right solution!

The vi in FreeBSD is best. Back when I used my new computer for months in text only mode while waiting for GPU drivers to come out. I did some C with vi and used ttys as tabs with one tab for command line music player to drown out the horror that is outside world.

FreeBSD rocks! I have been using it since 1998(before that : SunOS) and altough curious about Linux I never found it as professional, easy to use or dependable as FreeBSD. The ports systems vs the hodgepodge of various "distro" installers is of course very telling. Also, if you know the C language, compare the coding mess of the Linux Kernel source code vs the FreeBSD kernel code.

How did you manage to get an os running in a web browser?

BSD MASTER RACE!

Well damn, now I need a CRT monitor..... for my retropi.....

emerge -ask -verbose app-editors/nano

Hi there .. thank you so much for posting this video .. I have the same exact monitor and need to be able to use a KVM switch. I had a quick question. Are you using this Repeater between the computer (display port) and the KVM switch? I'm trying to understand the cable run (i.e. what connects to what). I assume it's desktop ---> KVM switch ---> Repeater ---> Samsung monitor? Any info would be appreciated. Thanks.

Wow ! You're a real Pro ! I have a Sony Oled 4K and a PS2 , what should I get ? Thanks

I'd love to hear some comments on FreeBSD's WiFi performance! 😂

Thanks you!! This case help me!!!

FREEBSD is really a nice OS. It is well put and well thought. It is consistent, and maintenance is easier than linux. I don't know why people went for Linux instead of BSD other than hardware drivers issues

Great video! thanks a lot!

You get a like and a Subscribe simply for saying UT is one of your favourite games, and showing footage of it. Back in the day, I was The_Emperor[Empire] clan, and my best friend was Darth_Maul[Empire] clan. I still remember fighting legendary players like 'Crimson_Tide'. At one point, I was in the top 10 in the world for a few days/weeks. I'll never forget how unbelievably immersive that game was. For the first time ever as a gamer, I really felt the potential of high resolution, creamy smooth, real-time, multiplayer pounding combat action with broadband internet connecting me to a dozen other human players experiencing the same thing. It was one of those 'threshold' moments in my gaming life, a life that goes all the way back to the Atari 2600 in 1978, when I was 9 years old.

Kinda laughable how ppl want the very best but play on a Samsung or (uncalibrated) LG OLED tv

i have this problem, on my pi4b signal gets separated, so that when i connect RTTS splitter i need to combine all 3 chinces into 1 to get propare signal (1 chinch from splitter i gives blurry signal). Is there any solution for this?

This is clearly an Intel bug. Really sucks that this is Framework's problem now just because they're the only ones with a switched webcam.

Now I am wondering. When you turn the camera back off does it turn the feature back on?

Does this behave the same in non-Windows OSes? My Framwork is still the 11th-gen Intel, and the screen has never been anything short of brilliant when running Ubuntu.

I was thinking "weird" i dont have this isssue with my framework, but then i realized that ive got an AMD machine

Give me a MacBook Pro or give me death! Great find and funny workaround. I wonder if they normally use the webcam for brightness detection and/or if FrameWork uses something else and that's the triggering mechanism.

Lol the only issues you ran into in older Beastie was due to lack of support from outside repos... wtf Obstacle

Would this also work from FreeBSD? I have a SuperMicro board where I want to have my fans run a bit slower.

Can you show how to use a universal remote for this there’s a ge usb c remote

12:15 fantastic argument, never looked at it that way, but it is definitely so true

Id love some more guides on how to setup settings! so confusing to me.

This video is very interesting and got me for the first time interested in BSD in a way that I wasn't before. As Linux user for years, I know the struggle of wasting a huge amount of personal time to try and get something to work and then feeling gratified when it finally does. BSD seemed like another UNIX that is just less used, older, more antiquated, etc. Something to play around with once in a while for something different to tinker with. Now I'm thinking this is something I may need to look at more seriously. Because the gratification of getting work done or seeing a service work is far greater than the gratification of merely figuring out how to get something installed and functioning as expected.

So why you have to read from a script

First off, thank you for this video. I've used Linux since 1.0.9 days, and tried out FreeBSD back in 4.7 days (yes, that was a really long time ago). While I mostly agree with your points about package/ports installing for FreeBSD, you've left out one thing - customizing the install. The package or port maintainers make a best effort to create a package install that "works" for the majority of people, but at least for me, I'd want to tweak the build options, for example if I was stripping out support for various things such as i18n, utf8, graphical support or perhaps even networking. I do grant that most people won't "need" to do this, but occasionally they may "want" to. I'm aware that the ports system does provide ways to customize the various packages; after all, this isn't the first time this topic has come up. I'd have liked to see a very quick explanation that this customizing is really easy, even if you consider the packages' requirements.

Windows doesnt document compile flags, download locations, build instructions, etc. EITHER. And it must be superior, because YOURE USING IT. edit - I think this video is EXACTLY the same as BSD - in that it proves jack shit, and is a complete waste of time. NOT Subscribed haha

Kinda true, but pretty irrelevant, IMO. If I install say LinuxMint everything is likely a binary, that you pick, and it installs. Things like nano are already there without you doing anything already. I think it is about what you need to do. Most people want to just use the computer, a reasonable BSD for this is GhostBSD. 'Ports' is/are cool, but just an alternative method. On Linux the application is almost always available as a binary, and there may also be alternatives such as Flatpak, Snap, Appimage etc. This allows sandboxing, as well as multiple versions concurrently installed without conflict. There are some basic truths to be considered. All of the top 500 computers run Linux without exception, this means high performance, high efficiency, and stability, and any other considerations must lean towards Linux being the answer for most uses. Phones use BSD, and Linux, so I expect that means they are both well suited to that task. Both are free to use, so I would say those that use one or the other have a liking for a system, or they have a good reason to chose whichever. It is looks to me that by any measure Linux must have more than the 'failing' attribute in its favour.

Great video! I have a small collection of AOL internet service disks; mostly not opened. Why AOL disks? They were quite creative with their packaging, with some coming in odd shaped metal tins. I believe I may have a few MSN disks too.

What a nightmare. And people wonder why Linux desktop adoption has not changed in 30 years and Unix us pretty much just for servers.

Is TS restricted to just testing latency for TV picture settings or modes, or can it also reveal the latency for wireless controllers, along with Wired USB? Like with 8bitdo's 2.4g controllers for example?

Nice perspective on Freebsd vs Linux. 😊 OS diversification is our strength! Thanks for sharing 🙏

This is great! Thank you for sharing!

13:15 Windows Protp: Ctrl+Shift+Esc will open task manager immediately, without the need for any mousing or menus. Additionally, in this instance using WinKey+R to bring up a run prompt and running "taskkill /im unreal* /f" would be a more reliable method given the massive amount of stutter (had your keyboard not ALSO been a jankfest at the time). Source: years of experience with similar scenarios due to all manners of tech shenanigans, personal and professional. It's saved me a lot of time trying to fight a system in this kind of state and I hope it helps you in the future :)

LOL! Yes, more InstaGib!

“It almost works” “I can almost use this” loving the jank!!!

oh man, i have been waiting in excitement for this one
