I’ve been thinking about something. I just tried FreeBSD 15.0-RC4 again on my mini PC (currently running openSUSE Tumbleweed) and it works well, even with Wayland.
The only thing I’m missing is suspend.
But I also have my Qotom, which currently serves as my home server, with 16 gigabytes of RAM. What if I installed FreeBSD on my mini PC and moved the Qotom’s workload into a VM, passing the disks directly through to the VM?

I’d still have 48 gigabytes of RAM for my workstation, which is more than enough, and I’d be using FreeBSD.

I’m really tempted to at least give it a try...

@stefano if you have installed pkg base any chance that you try to install a jail with one of the new datasets?.

Just found not to be working for me, seems that the url of the PKG repo is not valid or the trusted key installed on the RC by default does not work

@dorubab I haven't tried, yet. But I surely will.

@stefano So it's not about solving the suspend/resume but consolidating hardware. Sounds good, signore.

@omar yes, exactly. I'll try to contact Aymeric to offer some help to debug this but I'm not sure we're close to a solution. So, meanwhile, I'll try to solve this way.

@cienmilojos It has a total of 64 GB of ram. That's why I say that 48 is plenty. Probably, 16 would be more than plenty. I also have some VMs for some tests so I need some spare ram for them.

Sounds like a plan to me! 😎
