The next step was installing <a href="https://x.org">X.Org</a> and <a href="https://dwm.suckless.org/">dwm</a>. I didn't need a display manager (login prompt) since I could use `startx`, so I focused on installing the X.Org package and `git` to use <a href="https://gitlab.com/Shipwreckt/Dotfiles/-/tree/main/files/config/suckless/dwm?ref_type=heads">my own `dwm` configuration</a> that I uploaded there. I tested X.Org with `startx`, and it worked fine. However, when I cloned my configuration files and tried to compile `dwm`, I encountered a problem. Fortunately, it was an easy fix thanks to a helpful post on the <a href="https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/installing-dwm-manually-vs-pkg.74687/">FreeBSD forums</a>. After applying that fix, I was able to use my `dwm` setup successfully. I then checked if my two most-used programs, <a href="https://alacritty.org/">Alacritty</a> and <a href="https://librewolf.net/">Librewolf</a>, were available on FreeBSD. To my surprise, they were, and both were fully functional.

I appreciate how it works, but for now, I’m sticking with Linux because I am more comfortable with it and prefer Linux over BSD. In the future, I plan to set up a server with <a href="https://www.openbsd.org/">OpenBSD</a>, as I’ve heard excellent things about BSD servers.</p> <p>Thank you for reading!</p> |
