Well, today, after work, I gave it a shot. In total three attempts at a FreeBSD install, with the first two attempts with KDE and the third with Gnome. It took me in total about eight hours to realise that FreeBSD is pretty much not installable, because I have my monitor connected to my videocard with HDMI. Also the drivers for NVidia suck ass and obstruct the system. After all those hassles, I gave up, because when people get older they tend to have less time left. ;-) And for fuck's sake, the FreeBSD community's credo is "Don't fix things that already work." And so I am back with my Manjaro and KDE. With all the configurations exactly as they were before I tried to replace it with FreeBSD. Back ups are a good thing. ;-)
Aaaah, a Bamboo, aye! Cool! Here it's a Wacom Intuos and, of course, also Gimp (whose programmers deserve a Nobel price, I think). :-)
Edit: Yes, I brought my Manjaro a nice bouquet of flowers to make it up. She didn't talk all too much. haha
Thanks for posting all this...You sure gave it a go,that's for sure.
Sometimes it's best to just do what you did and call it a day.
After reading all that,I'm definitely not messing with BSD.
