Hi, sorry I was only subscribed to the digest of this list and can't reply to the correct thread. > Howdy! I've been lurking, missed this last desktop meeting and hope to be on the call for the next month. Great, I'll be there, too! I'm a software/firmware engineer from Framework responsible for many of the recent systems. > https://github.com/FrameworkComputer/freebsd-on-framework I imagine for the laptops certified (13 then 16) a generalized playbook or "package bundle" would install the general stuff to make it useful for a desktop? Please note that literally the first sentence on that page is "FreeBSD is not currently an officially supported Operating System". We're a small team, building a lot of different hardware and don't have the capacity to fully support FreeBSD. However, I realized that FreeBSD already works very well, so I started this repository as a way to track what's working on which systems and what's missing. > Are some of the Frame.Work / FreeBSD groups collaborating together at > all there? Just curious. Yes, occasionally I invite a couple FreeBSD people to our Taipei office, hack on some things and let them try out the new hardware. I would very much welcome external contributions, I cannot maintain this for all systems and combinations of our growing product pool. Also I'm not a heavy FreeBSD user, I have contributed a couple fixes, but I'm better suited giving advice and helping out answering questions. > I do believe if FreeBSD could get a solid support for a few key laptop players, it would help it's adoption and exposure a great deal more. I absolutely agree, you can see that the FreeBSD foundation has the same idea: https://github.com/FreeBSDFoundation/proj-laptop/blob/main/supported/laptops.md Cheers, Daniel
