passthejoeI'm in #NomadBSD for the first time in a few years, and it's 1000% better than I remember it. So many things are working well, and it has a beautiful desktop design. The laptop I'm using is kind of old, and I didn't initially use a newer, larger (and presumably faster) USB drive. But still it's doing great.
I'm not sure how they arrived at this combo of KDE and Xfce, but it's pretty nice.
Pro tip: The first time I put the image on the USB drive, I used Nautilus to expand the lzma file and GNOME's Impression to make the USB drive. Didn't work -- the BIOS didn't see it. The second time I used the lzma command line utility (as recommended by the project) to get the img, then I used Fedora Media Writer to create the bootable drive. That worked.
With a bit of a faster USB drive, this could absolutely work.
