@alfonsosiciliano@mastodon.bsd.cafe @FreeBSDFoundation@mastodon.social @stefano@mastodon.bsd.cafe can we imply that #wayland support on #freebsd is somehow less experimental?

@alfonsosiciliano@mastodon.bsd.cafe @FreeBSDFoundation@mastodon.social Not actually ran and not thoroughly read the script in deep, but some points I've noticed: (I'm not subscribing freebsd-desktop ML, nor having GitHub/GitLab accounts) Any actual changes to configurations and installations, it would be better done after "final confirmation" as base installer does (at least, previous installer "sysinstall" did). If allowing to work on already installed systems, checks for already defined values are sufficient or not and modify only when it's insufficient not to make values lower than currently would be wanted. Maybe it would be OK currently, though, at some point, there could be some cutting edge GPUs that are supported only on *-devel variant of nvidia driver ports. So adding "-devel" ones would be wanted by some users. x11/nvidia-kmod, x11/nvidia-driver, x11/linux-nvidia-libs and graphics/nvidia-drm-*-kmod would be upgraded to 590 (or later) series once nvidia releases it as their Production Branch of drivers. And starting from 590 series, support for old GPUs predate Turing generation of architecture are dropped. So at the same time, new legacy branch "-580" is planned to be added.

@alfonsosiciliano@mastodon.bsd.cafe @FreeBSDFoundation@mastodon.social i rebuilt my workstation w/ nvidia to get around to documenting just this on my blog (since i have done amd & intel already) , it should get a shake-out soon. (frankly, enable_linux should not be necessary and ought to be fixed upstream)

@alfonsosiciliano@mastodon.bsd.cafe many months ago, I might have mentioned to you a 2011 MacBookPro8,3 of the type that is bugged at . AMD + Intel graphics. I no longer have that old Mac. We do have – at the office – a circa 2016 MacBook Pro 2.5GHz that should have been written off months ago. I hoarded it for test purposes, it might be good for . Model identifier not yet known, I'll probably find it next week.
