Well done for runining my weekend! I will give it a try. However, still struggling with NVidia drivers on FreeBSD. For the life of me I can't get them to work.
This is why I switched to AMD video cards. NVIDIA was always flaky under Linux. I finally got a working setup, and then they stopped backporting new OpenGL features to the binary blob drivers for it, breaking all sorts of stuff.
CUDA is a big advantage for NVIDIA, but I don’t use it. Similarly, NVIDIA hardware tends to be a half a generation ahead. Whatever. The AMD drivers are open source, in kernel tree, and reliable over time.
I’m honestly not sure why they would stick to BSD. The first thing many folks do when they start a Mac is install Gnu Tools and other things to make it more like Debian.
Well yeah but FreeBSD is not Linux, and I don't see the connection with your comment. I also use a Linux distro as a daily driver, but I love playing with FreeBSD every now and then.
