My laptop (Asus FX706LI) uses the MediaTek MT7921. Although I&amp;#39;ve never installed linux on this laptop, I know the driver is in Linux 5.12 and subsequent kernels. I am to the point that I&amp;#39;d like to try modifying the driver to work with BSD. I currently have NetBSD running on a QEMU virtual machine, and I&amp;#39;d like to find a service that will allow me to add kernel modules so I don&amp;#39;t need to rebuild the kernel for every attempt. Once getting the WiFi, audio, bluetooth and graphics drivers working, my plan is to create a Wayland shell using wlroots that uses the least amount of RAM possible while remaining aesthetically pleasing. I may end up rewriting portions of WayFire to use Vulkan, and include this in the compositor/shell. Of course, I will give the resulting drivers to NetBSD and FreeBSD, and release the code for the compositor using the BSD license. At some point, I&amp;#39;d like to take NetBSD, FreeBSD and BSD 4.4Lite-2 and rewrite them using rust, which if successful, I will release the binaries but not the source. You may analyze the binaries for yourself, however I despise corporate interests and will only allow a trusted circle to work with the code. Any useful documentation and whatever you may consider useful is welcomed.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;!-- SC_ON --&gt; &amp;#32; submitted by &amp;#32; &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.reddit.com/user/RoscoDubois&quot;&gt; /u/RoscoDubois &lt;/a&gt; &lt;br/&gt; &lt;span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.reddit.com/r/BSD/comments/10mo0xd/mediatek_mt7921_wireless_lan_driver/&quot;&gt;[link]&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &amp;#32; &lt;span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.reddit.com/r/BSD/comments/10mo0xd/mediatek_mt7921_wireless_lan_driver/&quot;&gt;[comments]&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;</content><id>t3_10mo0xd</id><link href="https://www.reddit.com/r/BSD/comments/10mo0xd/mediatek_mt7921_wireless_lan_driver/" /><updated>2023-01-27T15:46:45+00:00</updated><published>2023-01-27T15:46:45+00:00</published><title>MediaTek MT7921 Wireless LAN driver</title></entry><entry><author><name>/u/oradba</name><uri>https://www.reddit.com/user/oradba</uri></author><category term="BSD" label="r/BSD"/><content type="html">&lt;!-- SC_OFF --&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;md&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;Am currently running Monterey on a 2012 Mac mini (i7), and am not happy with the performance, save for the TCP stack, where I am getting 940 mbps up and down on a 1GB ATT fiber connection. (There is also the issue of OS updates hosing the machine, requiring a reinstall - fortunately, the recovery doesn&amp;#39;t hose my data)&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;I have run FreeBSD and GhostBSD on a TP W530 and get similar TCP performance. A few years ago, I installed FreeBSD 12.0 on a 2009 MacBook (dual core) and it ran very nicely; so I am thinking it may be time to bid Cocoa goodbye and get the machine back to performing like it used to.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;I have installed Ubuntu on a (5,2) Mac Pro and it makes a nice in-house server (the firmware change alone let me go from 32GB max RAM to 128GB!), but the external (browsing) TCP performance isn&amp;#39;t great, per &lt;a href=&quot;https://speediest.net&quot;&gt;speedtest.net&lt;/a&gt;; so I am not inclined to throw Linux on it.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Ideally I would like to run a BSD that will support 32-bit apps as well as 64, so I can run a few WINE apps. OpenBSD ran like molasses in a VM; FreeBSD ran much better but needed a lot more configuration; GhostBSD is 64-bit only. Are there other BSD derivatives that I can look at? Aside from the 32-bit support, this is a general-purpose machine.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Let the flame war begin :-). Seriously, thanks in advance if there are other distros to which you can point me.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;!-- SC_ON --&gt; &amp;#32; submitted by &amp;#32; &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.reddit.com/user/oradba&quot;&gt; /u/oradba &lt;/a&gt; &lt;br/&gt; &lt;span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.reddit.com/r/BSD/comments/10lx1cd/which_variant_for_2012_mac_mini_advice_requested/&quot;&gt;[link]&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &amp;#32; &lt;span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.reddit.com/r/BSD/comments/10lx1cd/which_variant_for_2012_mac_mini_advice_requested/&quot;&gt;[comments]&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;</content><id>t3_10lx1cd</id><link href="https://www.reddit.com/r/BSD/comments/10lx1cd/which_variant_for_2012_mac_mini_advice_requested/" /><updated>2023-01-26T17:17:27+00:00</updated><published>2023-01-26T17:17:27+00:00</published><title>Which variant for 2012 Mac mini? - advice requested</title></entry><entry><author><name>/u/zabolekar</name><uri>https://www.reddit.com/user/zabolekar</uri></author><category term="BSD" label="r/BSD"/><content type="html">&lt;!-- SC_OFF --&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;md&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;Hi,&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;here are my notes about writable and executable memory on the main four BSD systems.

Please don&amp;#39;t actually copy random code to your &lt;code&gt;/usr/local&lt;/code&gt; unless for testing purposes.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;On the other hand, if you call &lt;code&gt;doas sysctl kern.wxabort=1&lt;/code&gt; before running the executable, you&amp;#39;ll get &lt;strong&gt;Abort trap (core dumped)&lt;/strong&gt;. Change the variable back with &lt;code&gt;doas sysctl kern.wxabort=0&lt;/code&gt; (of course only if it was 0 before).&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;FreeBSD:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;blockquote&gt; &lt;p&gt;writable and executable memory mapped successfully&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;writable memory mapped successfully&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;writable memory successfully made executable&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;writable memory successfully made writable and executable&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/blockquote&gt; &lt;p&gt;If you run &lt;code&gt;doas sysctl kern.elf64.allow_wx=0&lt;/code&gt; before running the executable (assuming a 64-bit system):&lt;/p&gt; &lt;blockquote&gt; &lt;p&gt;map writable and executable memory: &lt;strong&gt;Permission denied&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;writable memory mapped successfully&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;writable memory successfully made executable&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;can&amp;#39;t make writable memory writable and executable: &lt;strong&gt;Permission denied&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/blockquote&gt; &lt;p&gt;But if you override it for this particular executable with &lt;code&gt;elfctl -e +wxneeded a.out&lt;/code&gt;, it works again.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;To unset the ELF feature flag: &lt;code&gt;elfctl -e -wxneeded a.out&lt;/code&gt;.

If I had to guess, my guess would be that some time during the mid-1990s, USB-A drives came out and Berkeley UNIX /FreeBSD/ and/or NetBSD decided to treat them like floppies. Whereas people like Linus and Patrick Volkerding, being hip young whippersnappers in the 90s, were jiggy with the concept of CDs, and used ISOs.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Although I don&amp;#39;t really know why this would be an operating system-dependent thing. I think the only OS-specific thing you&amp;#39;d have to do would be to make the image bootable, but I don&amp;#39;t really know much about this subject.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;!-- SC_ON --&gt; &amp;#32;

I&amp;#39;ve run OpenBSD for a wee while some years back, but apart from that, have run Linux only. I would thus like to know what&amp;#39;s the state of desktop BSD in 2022?&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;For private use, I&amp;#39;d need: - Play Steam/Linux games - Watch Netflix&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;For work, I&amp;#39;d need: - Cisco Anyconnect VPN support (Openconnect will not suffice) - Java (OpenJDK normally, but also legacy Oracle JDKs). - Virtualised Linux that performs well enough to run: -- Docker -- Kubernetes - MS Teams (in Chrome is fine)&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;I see there are nice looking desktop themed BSDs, like Nomad, that give a smooth installation experience and desktops. These two things are indeed nice, but not that important to me. A text based installer is fine and I&amp;#39;ll run i3 as window manager anyway. But if they resolves the issues on my lists, I&amp;#39;ll be happy to give them a go.
