I am a long time Linux User, KDE user. I want to try out BSD, but I am having a hard time getting it installed.
I tried the latest version of FreeBSD but it seems to come without X or Wayland (Or any of the other graphical bits) and I can’t seem to get the graphical part working.
Nothing yet has been done with the machine, so, if anyone can recommend an easy-to-install - that works out of the box in full graphics where I don’t have to mess with modelines like 2001. I would love to try an OS where there are not too many cooks in the kitchen.
I will be installing it on a Lenovo Ideapad.
I started with a distro of FreeBSD called GhostBSD. It works pretty well out of the box, and is a good starting point for someone who’s just starting out with FreeBSD. NomadBSD is also a good option if you don’t mind running it from an external drive.
