Since I like FreeBSD so much on my server I installed it on my crappy unstable laptop as well. I only use it for browsing, editing notes and video conferencing when working from home, so I need no complex setup.

From top to bottom:

  • Output of fastfetch, an open neovim and my wallpaper switcher. The bar is eww.
  • A second workspace with Firefox and my notes.
  • My “logout window”. Pressing a key combo will show this overlay with the option to close it or pick shutdown/reboot/logout.

Not pictured is fuzzel for running applications.

A few minor things still need to be done but nothing major will change.

    Yeah, I’ve been hearing pretty much that. Didn’t know about the Macs in the BSD conference tho. I guess it makes sense since the underlying stuff are really similar.

    I’m currently daily-driving various Linux systems, with and without the DE, so I can vouch for that smooth desktop experience!
