I am curious why decided on sudo instead of doas?

Decided to check out after a long time away from it. Gotta say, it's coming along quite nicely.

It's definitely worth checking out if you want nice out-of-box experience with

With all excitement and bling floating around I am enjoying my time today on GhostBSD Mate edition. Well rounded, everything works ootb, quiet styling (I've turned on a Dracula theme of course ;-).

Plus'es: samba , VLC, sound, LibreOffice, generic feel, the Stations (backup, software), sudo (I prefer doas, but newcomers will recognize sudo), install and go.

BSD generic: volume settings (mixer pcm etc), wifi (on a 2018 mini pc with Ryzen 2500U, seriously?) and of course BT are generic issues. Can be solved, but still.

Oh, and I forgot to mention that GhostBSD totally takes care of graphics drivers, dbus et al. I mean DisplayPort at 185hz ootb, great!

All in all a nice one ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป, recommended!

It's worth remembering that there aren't just three flavours. There are DragonFly BSD, Midnight BSD, and Ghost BSD too.

Dug in the manpages to find that middle mouse is key to adding workspaces in fluxbox. I had forgotten that button since I hardly need it in XFce which is my main DE & KDE wich I started reusing after having left a couple of decades

When Mozilla Thunderbird starts hammering on the CPU cores of your computer you configure it in this way.

>>Quote

... configuration editor. Type idle into the search box, and look for mail.db.idle_limit. According to that bug report, the correct value is 30000000. Check the number of zeros you have; if you only have 300000, that could be causing your CPU problems.
