Has anybody gotten the #framework #desktop running (especially graphics) with #freebsd15? Would be very interested, as it works flawlessly under linux (and I really, really want #freebsd running on that machine 馃槂
I get a kernel crash as soon as I try to load the amdgpu module.
And I haven't found any solution until now.
I had this recent exchange with my wife:
Wife: What is FreeBSD?
Me: It's Unix, an operating system, and it's awesome!
Wife: Oh OK. The only reason I asked is because I am finding these FreeBSD CDs around the house. FreeBSD 12.0, 13.3, 14.0.
Me: Yeah, I use the old versions as coasters for my tea mugs.
Wife: *pauses, laughs* I can see that.

The FreeBSD 15.0-R magnet torrents are now available:
https://wiki.freebsd.org/Torrents
Remember to that when they're first available, DHT takes a while to populate.
Installed and now experimenting with #freebsd #freebsd15 on Lenovo M625q thin client (AMD E2-9000e 1.5 Ghz, 8GB RAM + 120 GB SSB). Nice setup so far with XFCE desktop. Wifi/USB dongle (tp-link TL_WN725N) works but has poor perfomance (like 30kB/s).
What might be a better supported WiFi/USB dongle?

FreeBSD 15: Why You鈥檒l Want It
Following this week鈥檚 15.0 release, we took a closer look at the features that stand out in the new version.
Key updates include a production-ready pkgbase system for more flexible installations and upgrades, enhancements to desktop and laptop usability, significant performance gains in AWS, and refinements to FreeBSD鈥檚 privilege and security model.
Read the full overview: https://freebsdfoundation.org/blog/freebsd-15-why-youll-want-it/
And one more server (including jails) cleanly upgrade to FreeBSD 15.0-RELEASE 
All running nicely 馃檪
I just played around upgrading a FreeBSD 14.3p6 VM to 15.0-RELEASE via FreeBSD-base.
I still have not figured out how to do that with the official repos, but after building packages locally i was able to upgrade the boot environment and reboot in a working #freebsd15 installation!
Has anyone got this working with the official base repo?
If anyone is interested, here are my notes about upgrading locally (Notes in picture alt for copy paste).
FreeBSD 15 is here! 馃槉

FreeBSD 15.0-RELEASE Release Notes:
https://www.freebsd.org/releases/15.0R/relnotes/
Houston, we have installed #FreeBSD 15.0-REL with KDE Plasma 6.4.5 on a Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 6 laptop.
I have come full circle. I used to daily drive FreeBSD 5.x on a Thinkpad a20p in the early 2000s.
Today I used the "technology preview" method for pkg installation, too. I posted this from the laptop, of course!!
Thanks to everyone who made this possible, including the parties who made the script to install KDE with one command. #freebsd15
```
env ABI=FreeBSD:15:amd64 IGNORE_OSVERSION=yes pkg -c /mnt/upgrade/ install -r FreeBSD-base FreeBSD-pkg-bootstrap
```
Then upgrade the base packages
```
env ABI=FreeBSD:15:amd64 IGNORE_OSVERSION=yes pkg -c /mnt/upgrade/ upgrade -r FreeBSD-base
```
Check, if FreeBSD-set-base is installed:
```
env ABI=FreeBSD:15:amd64 IGNORE_OSVERSION=yes pkg -c /mnt/upgrade/ install -r FreeBSD-base FreeBSD-set-base
```
upgrade all other packages
```
env ABI=FreeBSD:15:amd64 IGNORE_OSVERSION=yes pkg -c /mnt/upgrade/ upgrade
```
Temporarily activate boot env and reboot
```
bectl activate -t 15.0
shutdown -r now
