    Quite outdated my comment will be. I just recently found this channel and immediately sign-on 'cause the content and the speaker are awesome! Thank you. I've run FreeBSD with xfce on my old Acer Extensa laptop and it was the fastest OS this old guy ever saw! The one thing I struggled with is the TimeZone setting for the clock widget in xfce4 - for some reason it didn't allowed to change the timezone. This was king of sad 'cause I use to make several clock widgets with different timezones. The timezone in the system was "ok" and it was just this widget that caused a little headache.

    My first full-on DE experience with FreeBSD was XFCE with Whisker Menu, Cairo Dock and a software pool based on all the stuff I normally used in Windows with Compton performing compositing. This video took me back. Was also the first time I got deep into GIMP and skinning XFCE making everything look as FreeBSD (red) as possible. Was a fairly fun learning experience.
    Good video.

    Hi Gary, thanks for the video :-) I am using xfce4 on FreeBSD since years - I like it much. Less overloaded than many other desktop environments. I am not using slim - I always type startxfce4 on command line - If something in graphics brakes, I have easily the chance to see my data. And this added 2 seconds to type startxfce4 are not worth to be mentioned ;-) All the best, Norbert

      You can define a shortcut to start x
      I was testing on Linux Arch most of desktops, tiling too, it was good to define shortcut to startx for example sx and test the graphic desktop for learning

    I like XFCE for that classic CDE feel; however, I do love the modern MacOS feel of KDE 5.

    Indeed a video on sound would be great as well as how to get the taskbar widgets working....

    yes getting sound running in any of bsds would be helpful. If you can put up some tips using virt manager and a Linux host that would be great too. if not I'll keep playing or eventually find something I think I won't have trouble installing on.

    Hi, did you maybe recorded video how to install softwares, video drivers, how to search for software, github, how to find an installed softwares to remove it, installation of x to start graphical desktop ??
    I am new in BSD, so learn everything.
    In Linux, in system monitor i have graphic desktops almost the same RAM usage, about 1.5 Gb, Xfce, Cinnamon. On laptop the RAM is smaller, and RAM usage too, smaller for Xfce 650 Mb, Cinnamon 1.2 Gb
    So on my main computer i use Cinnamon as it's better visually and functionality is better. I want to test FreeBSD to compare the work on it ... thanks
