Alright team, I am going to give #BSD another try. What is the best version of BSD that I can install on an Alder Lake #N100 Intel CPU?

I have a mini pc that is collecting dust at the moment and I gots the BSD itch.

Edit: Thanks for all the suggestions. I am trying out #NomadBSD which is based on #FreeBSD. Supposedly it is fairly new user friendly. The documentation is easy to follow.

If this goes belly up, I will try the other big three. At this time I don’t want to go through with manually setting up a desktop environment.

I have successfully installed a #BSD on my lil #N100 mini pc with a graphical desktop that is not glitchy nor has usage breaking bugs/issues!

Thanks #OpenBSD

#PCI を #DMI から吐く #チップセットは無理にしても、 #Intel #N100 などを搭載した #JETWAY ATOM-GM1-330のような #マザーボードは出ないんですかね?

#Intel #N100 の方が #SandyBridge より低消費電力で速いと言いますが、 #DMI から #PCI を吐く #チップセットが存在しないし、ましてや #PCIe のカードもいい感じに増設できない以上特殊用途として壊れるまで生き残ってしまうのでは?と思う。 #モニタ 1枚と #HID の一揃えが繋がればいい #PC と違って

Is it expected for #tailscale to use a lot of CPU when rsync'ing between clients? This is a humble #n100 but still

My tiny little #N100 #Beelink #MiniPC is going strong but I pity the thing still..

I just moved about 10TB of data between shares on my #TrueNAS box and had to rescan the whole library. #Jellyfin is using #ffmpeg to generate images from files and that little machine just keeps on trucking..!

Update：在 Mastodon 上被說明這不是沒包好：「ap0.nicolasyang.me/@nicolas/statuses/01K6HWCYCGM0AR96C0KKG2YTR0」，而是 free 版本本來就沒支援，參考專案首頁 Intel(R) Media Driver for VAAPI 上面的支援表格，Intel N100 屬於 Alder Lake 架構，所以表格支援看...
