HOW-TO-TUTORIAL #1

By

Here we go for the HOW-TO-TUTORIAL #1!

Do you have always struggle and thought of giving up using FreeBSD, GhostBSD, NetBSD, openBSD due hardware issues or other reasons? 

Well, there's a good and important message for you!  You can use a tool called "hw-probe". 

This tool can be found on:


https://bsd-hardware.info/?view=howto


How to get started on BSD? Here there's a short explanation using FreeBSD:

On FreeBSD 11.x, 12.x or 13.x  use the terminal command:

1.    pkg install hw-probe

2.    hw-probe -all -upload


Afterwards you can check out on the webside the results!


For other BSD OS or as well how to install and use it on Linux check out the links:

a) Linux: https://github.com/linuxhw/hw-probe/blob/master/INSTALL.md

b) BSD: https://github.com/linuxhw/hw-probe/blob/master/INSTALL.BSD.md


Do you have any further questions, critics or feedback? Just comment on this post!

Cheers

Andi

    Can you test pkg install hw-probe on aarch64 when booting FreeBSD 14.0 on a Raspberry Pi 4B?
    Is there an aarch64 application that works just like its x64_86 cousin version?

The way I fucked Debian and Devuan, cause they are bitches!

 What do Debian and Devuan in common?  They proclaim to be a community open for all and to ensure diversity as well respecting  and tolerating different opinions!  Debian has a Social Contract and on their website you can read the Debian philosophy. While reading all these shiny sentences, you may think  that all Debian peeps are open-minded and they are able to discuss with arguments! Arguments and discussions - everybody should have the capability to discuss in a serious way and not start whining like Debian and Devuan peeps are doing. If you are asking questions, which are not liked - you get be quiet or directly banned on their IRC channels, Telegram groups etc.  Banning or setting people quiet asking and answering with arguments and telling facts is abuse and misunderstanding of the social contract.  Let me say that several people have experienced negative situations in Debian and Devuan because they have replied with facts!!!! OH FACTS!? WHAT ARE FACTS? Sorry for using facts Dear
