Alfonso SicilianoFinally, I managed to install and configure a graphical environment directly during a #FreeBSD installation session 🎉
Most of the friction was around GPU drivers, but the feedback and suggestions I received were incredibly helpful. A lot of people want to use FreeBSD on their laptops and desktops, and that really shows.
For now, the goal was to provide a simple option to install #KDE Plasma. If there’s interest and more requests, we can definitely expand this in the future with additional desktop environments and options.
Special thanks to the FreeBSD Foundation for their support 🙌

There are so many things I'd like to customize on my Android phone. It was possible already with old Symbian and first Androids. Yeah sure, they removed these and easy rooting for user "safety". But I'd still like to:
- Customize the top status bar, force it to show all icons (data, nfc, wifi).
- Customize date format.
- Use AOD to mimic notification diode effect.
- Cleanup all app caches at the same time.
Since I have Samsung, can't try GrapheneOS. Should I go for a Pixel next time?

Great guide for running Windows 11 in KVM on Linux by Rob Braxman.

I've followed it almost to the letter, only skipped the manual storage pool configuration.
It runs great on 8GB of RAM and 4 cores. It actually boots faster then Win 11 in dual boot! I previously didn't use virtio-win drivers, but they make big difference!
Another note: Win 11 Pro eval actually installs without Copilot by default. I only disabled One Drive and uninstalled Xbox apps.

To look back and review 2025:
I wanted to learn more about networking and Unix in 2025 and I think I've succeeded 🤗. Mastodon community helped a lot in this endeavor, thank you all!
I don't have much spare time to tinker with BSD any more, but I'm looking into Fedora and tmux at the moment. I'm having a great time, and also just spending more time outside or with kids.
Wishing all of you all the best in 2026! 🎉 🎇

Let's just not bring politics into everything. In last months I've seen a fair share of unhelpful generalizations from both camps here. I've read that X users are stone-age desktop lovers, MAGA idi*ts, zombie cuddlers, "against the new, beacause it's new" and what not. Same way not everything from Wayland is bad (I use it on my work machine, but not on my older machines). I'm happy someone will maintain KWin so that I can still use Plasma on those machines. End of story...
If I hate anything on Android, it's the in app browsers. It's the first thing I disable if possible. They can trace ads to the last click this way, of course they set it as default.
