FreeBSD on the Framework Laptop
Man, FreeBSD really needs some driver love...<p>* No Suspend/Resume? Linux has solved this for years, I have not come across a laptop in the last 10 years that had trouble with s2r or s2d (but I guess that there might be a few that don't fully support it, I mainly tested Dell laptops)<p>* WiFi driver and Ethernet over USB-C both highly unstable? That's an Intel chipset, those are usually the more stable ones (at least on Linux/Windows), and the wire ethernet is not a cheapo chipset either (Realtek)<p>* Bluetooth not supported???<p>* microSD slot on USB-C docking station doesn't work? This is just SPI, how hard can that be...<p>I wonder if there is any laptop from the last 5 years where FreeBSD fully works. I keep trying FreeBSD on and off on my two Laptops but I had similar experiences (plus I'm not used to the FreeBSD way of doing things). I'm ready to jump through <i>some</i> hoops but in my case, FreeBSD was always removed after a weekend or so, and replaced with Linux where everything just works.<p>I used to tinker a lot to get Linux and BSD running on hardware, but these days I kinda expect <i>most</i> things to just work out of the box ...<p>I really wish FreeBSD would get some more developer backing
