So, I don't remember why I did it, but I reinstalled FreeBSD on the laptop it was already installed on. This time, however, I used version 12-CURRENT instead of 11.2-RELEASE

I don't remember why.....but this time everything was a bit more streamlined and that may just be me having literally just installing it the day before and knowing what to do.

Also somehow I now have an emoji picker tied to a keyboard shortcut and like this is great and I'm not asking questions :3

I also downloaded a USB image for DragonflyBSD last night (stock piling up on those sweet sweet install discs).

For shits and giggles I booted it up on my chromebook (Acer c720) and the keyboard worked(?!) but it didn't detect my wireless card....so.....that's something 🤷

I may spend some time today trying to figure out why it didn't detect my wireless card and if I can figure it out I may do another BSD install :D

oh wow this install is going great really happy with how everything is going send too- *crashes into kernel debugger*

....ha....hmmmm.....

me: "oh I know enough about linux. i should look in to other unix-like operating systems"
also me: "FUCK. WHATS A KERNEL UM. DID........but.....why would they include bugs in it? Why uhg why do crashes?? *sobs*"

hmmmm

just installed a program I use frequently on linux into freebsd

on first run it fucked up my X server a bit, but restarting the program fixed it.

on the second run it made noise where on linux it was silent. i think it was supposed to make noise all along, but for some reason didn't on linux.

wtf

#BSDFox

one weird (I'm assuming it's weird?) issue I'm having is that when I open a new terminal instance it drops me in / instead of my home dir

it's not a big deal, just weird 🤷

@zac check your .login & .shrc files for cd weirdness? i don't remember that happening to me.

@arielmt I'm using fish because I got used to it, so it shouldn't source those files, and when I log in via the console it drops me in ~

Think it could have something to do with X?

@zac Indirectly, perhaps. Assuming fish is your shell as given in /etc/passwd, I'd guess there's a relevant difference between the shell's login-time-only .profile script and its run-on-every-new-shell $ENV or .shrc script. (Or fish's equivalent scripts.)

@arielmt just realized that my file manager also opens to /

i also just tried changing my shell to bash instead of fish and it didn't make any difference

@zac Is bash installed? It's not the default in most BSDs, and if it is installed, it'll be /usr/local/bin/bash.
