FreeBSD 13 on Apple Silicon+VMware

Re: M1/M2 Mac port ?

FreeBSD 13.2 installs and boots under VMware Fusion on M2 Apple Silicon. I will get X11 up and a GUI on it (MATE) and then I'll be happy. The install of FreeBSD went flawlessly.

Re: M1/M2 Mac port ?

See for example ... "arm64 is classified as a Tier-1 architecture on FreeBSD as of FreeBSD 13.0-RELEASE. Before that it was classified as tier-2." https://wiki.freebsd.org/arm64 I know that does not mean it's M1/M2 ready but I imagine it will run under VMWare on M1/M2 with its generic devi...

M1/M2 Mac port ?

Anyone looking at a M1/M2 port of GhostBSD? AFAIK FreeBSD has support as does KDE. Guess I'll take a look at building a FreeBSD Frankenmash for my M2. :D

Apple is not going to provide new systems for this machine and it has years of life left. I will give it a go if no one knows. - I guess I have three options : Use GhostBSD, build m...

Whats the long term future for GhostBSD

I've been burned by TrueOS, PCBSD, etc etc .... So before I dive back into the pool - The support/development "staff" seems very thin on the ground. With the niche status of desktop BSDs I have to ask - what's the longer term plan to make sure its available in 3-5 years? If the prime devel...
