๏ฝข The PS4's Orbis OS is derived from FreeBSD 9 (2013 vintage). The PS5's Orbis 2.0 is derived from FreeBSD 11.0 (__FreeBSD_version 1100122, for the curious). Sony publishes the modified FreeBSD kernel source on its open-source page, as the BSD licence permits and good citizenship encourages.
Over 200 million PlayStation units have shipped since the PS3 (which already carried BSD lineage in a different form) ๏ฝฃ

Judging from this tutorial, installing ZFSBootMenu is simply downloading premade EFI binary and copy to ESP partition, would it be possible to dual boot a #FreeBSD and Void #Linux that are both Root-On-ZFS? Of source FreeBSD pools won't boot directly through ZFSBootMenu but
efibootmgr will still be able to configure boot priority.qxl video driver issue with #FreeBSD #QEMU VM appeared more interesting than I thought: in another boot environment #BE where I installed #Xlibre instead of #Xorg, using #qxl driver and startx in a #TTY brought up a bare X session with a #Xterm. Quitting the xterm instance successfully terminated X session and brought back TTY session, while on #Xorg quitting the session resulted in a full black screen, no tty. Switching ttys from with QEMU's sendkey failed to get any tty bacl either. If a window manager like #CWM was launched by startx, however, both Xlibre and Xorg failed with a #SegmentFault error. 2/nxf86-video-qxl and use a #Xorg conf file like:Section "Device"it should work. But today when I was firing up a FreeBSD 15.1 VM the Xorg session instantly crashed with a segment fault and returned back to tty, changing the
Identifier "Card0"
Driver "qxl"
EndSection
qxl driver to scfb worked flawlessly though. Am I missing something? 1/n![[?]](https://media.bsd.network/accounts/avatars/110/037/496/070/316/553/original/ded09a624a7ff99d.jpg)

Since yesterday, all my hardware is Linux free (goodbye and thanks #manjaro) and happily running #FreeBSD. The last piece of the puzzle was my Tuxedo InfinityBook 14 and to be honest I expected more struggle. Tweak here, WiFi firmware there and everything is working.
So far so good โค๏ธ still many things to tweak ๐
This is quite stronger hardware than my usual ThinkPads and much more responsive compared to Linux. Happy and content ๐

sysrc utiity last weekend, and today mixer. They are there in the manual pages, in source code, but no easy way to find out where they end up in FreeBSD-xxx packages.

py311-ansible-sysrc which does not seem right, freshports reports it is not in 15 but I have it in another system installed using the traditional method. Is it coming from FreeBSD-set-base itself? The the new #pkgbase world, how do I suppose to search where does each utility comes from?
