Please keep your fingers crossed for me, I'm installing #FreeBSD on my laptop for the first time 🤞

And we have a working desktop! Next steps, restore files from backup and configure everything. So far, so good.

@kedara How's the WiFi?

[kedara@mastodon.bsd.cafe]

@pauliehedron so far, so good: worked out of the box, and am now restoring my backup with ~50-90 Mbps from Hetzner (according to the router, that is).

[marios@mastodon.bsd.cafe]

@kedara which desktop did you install?

[pauliehedron@infosec.exchange]

@kedara Please kind person, tell me wifi card (or laptop platform) and version of freebsd???

As you can probably tell, it's of interest, and a windmill I've been chasing for a while.

@kedara Cool.  I look forward to updated on your thoughts

[kedara@mastodon.bsd.cafe]

@pauliehedron it's a "ThinkPad T14 Gen 2i 20W0004DMH" with "Intel Corporation Wi-Fi 6E(802.11ax) AX210/AX1675* 2x2 [Typhoon Peak]" wifi. Freebsd 15. Hope it helps, did you have wifi troubles in the past?

[kedara@mastodon.bsd.cafe]

@marios I went with the safe and comfy combo of xfce, xddm and x11. I theme it a bit and it looks great and has a great performance as well.

[kedara@mastodon.bsd.cafe]

@daj thanks, I'll try to write something after I've set everything up again. I'm liking it so far.

[marios@mastodon.bsd.cafe]

@kedara nice! I myself am also a fan of xfce and lxde depending on my mood.
