FreeBSD 12.1 + xfce + lightdm installation (with all steps in the first comment)
This time I want to share with you the tutorial on installing another very important operating system: FreeBSD. It is not a Linux distribution, but in many respects it is very similar. Installation is much simpler than Arch Linux, but setting it up is very difficult, as it is much less supported.
FreeBSD is more robust than Debian, which is why it is much more server oriented. It also includes "ports" repositories, from which you can install enough commonly used software and various graphical interfaces, such as KDE and XFCE.
The BSD license, unlike the GNU license, doesn't force you to publish the sources, and it's really a shame. Do you think that the Darwin kernel, at the base of Apple's macOS, is based in turn on FreeBSD. FreeBSD, is a powerful operating sistem, but is also the first to deserve support, given the scarcity of software and drivers.
