BSD Cafe Billboard

Thank you for the ace instructions. I'm glad I waited to upgrade, as I didn't trust myself to be able to work out the kmod hiccup, but these were perfect. Just finished upgrading 15.0R-p10 to 15.1R and everything just works. Boot up is perceptibly faster, which is a nice cherry on top of the smooth upgrade. Edit: Now that the upgrade is complete, I'm going to bectl my way to trying a pkgbasify conversion. I was going to wait until 16.0R, but have half a mind of pulling the trigger early seeing as how these problems seemed non-existent on pkgbase and it's in our future anyway.

I dove head first into the BSDs (in a sense again after a very long break) in late 2025. I have OpenBSD 7.8 on an old MacBook Pro running 24x7 (playing with pf on it). My main desktop has 4 drives, one each with Windows 11, Linux (Arch), NixOS and yep, FreeBSD 15.0-p5. I probably spend the most time on FreeBSD 65%+ with the remainder shared somewhat equally between NixOS and Arch. I have Windows 11 around only as a backup (because $JOB and in case I bork my *BSD/Linux installations) so I can have something functional on the ready. I'm not ready yet to fully daily drive the BSDs, but everything I've thrown at it so far has been fine for my daily workflow. I hope to make the switch by the time FreeBSD 16 RELEASE rolls around.

Thank you for this cozy little corner of the web @stefano. Here to watch and learn as I recently stumbled back into FreeBSD (and also OpenBSD). Re-discovering the joy of tinkering and homelabbing with new things.
