What on earth is going on with your header? You have four options that look like links (Qbix, Apps, Platform, Blog) but I cannot click on them. I cannot imagine what I am doing wrong. I tried clicking…

Yes, please! Here's another vote in support of Linux and FreeBSD!

Very interesting. Also not the first of its kind. BlueSpec[0] is a RTL hardware design language in Haskell. I am confused because this, on the other hand, doesn't appear to be sponsored by a comp…

Man, I definitely am scared to! I haven't quite figured out the environment though. It was such a relief just to get graphics working in the first place. I don't I have the time to put up wi…

I agree! For instance, my wifi card (Centrino 2230) is not supported on FreeBSD 10.2-STABLE but it has been available on OpenBSD for a little while. It is now supported in HEAD but won't be in ST…

I'm sure many people will tell you that the FreeBSD man pages [0] are an incredible resource and some of the best written man pages out there. From experience, the official handbook [1] was incre…

I recently switched my dev machine (laptop) from Ubuntu to FreeBSD because I wanted the experience. I wrote a post about it[0]. Basically, wifi and graphics were a PITA and I brute forced my way into …

comment
So it looks like the answer is yes then. You do need a Windows machine to build the managed components. So I cannot build (for now) if I do not have a Windows machine. I did actually follow this guide…

I guess I'll have to give it a go then! Probably in VirtualBox though. I am loathe to repeat this process. Also, any reason you'd recommend this over GhostBSD? I don't really know the d…

Great observation. One of the most caustic actions everyone takes part in is perpetuating partisanship. It's great to see this recognition.
comment
It wasn't necessarily that [0] or [1] was confusing in and of themselves but that the information seemed to conflict at times. Having multiple sources can be helpful to establish patterns unless …
comment
To clarify, I think there was mention that PC-BSD had a tendency to be behind the FreeBSD ports releases because it required the extra wrapping. But I am totally hazy on this so I guess I should just …
comment
One reason I decided against going with PC-BSD is because apparently the package management system is a mess. I cannot remember the exact location I read that, but this thread might be a start [0]. Ov…

tldr; it is free to use for personal and commercial use without attribution (per my understanding)

I got confused when trying to install .NET Core, so sorry if this is a bad question. It seemed like .NET Core depended on Mono. Does it actually? I can't remember what exactly seemed like it depe…

For anyone confused/interested like I was, this is an ARM device.
