@orhun GAMECHANGER, freebsd version when??
@orhun UPD: it seems that it's possible to install it on freebsd using cargo from ratty's website project instructions.
@orhun resolution is kinda fucked tho, not sure if its a freebsd issue or nvidia issue or both, but you cant see anything when opening ratty (this is a "htop" command running)
@orhun logs if anyone's curious:

@sarahquartz ah thanks for sharing the logs and trying it out...
tbh not sure what's going on there. Do you have bash installed? Maybe try configuring the default shell, the scale factor of the terminal and other parameters in the config file: https://github.com/orhun/ratty/blob/main/config/ratty.toml
also feel free to send me a bug report :D
do you have bash installed?Oh, I use sh, the default one on freebsd I think. I'll try to configure these things, maybe switch the default shell, I'll update this post to keep in touch how things are.
MSTie Misty@orhun π the nickname youβve gave it is so on point!
