FreeBSD making progress in supporting laptop hardware |
 |
The FreeBSD Foundation is working on improving laptop support for the FreeBSD operating system. The efforts in this area include expanding wireless card support, updating graphics drivers, and, managing system upgrades using a unified package manager. There are also initatives to improve sleep and lower power states. The latest update includes mention of Realtek wireless drivers and the ability to install FreeBSD on-line using packages for the pkg package manager: "Updated support for Realtek wireless drivers rtw88 and rtw89 is now in main, and will be in 14.3 soon. To test these, please go to the wireless mailing list. The FreeBSD installer now installs pkgbase in 15.0-CURRENT Users can now install a pkgbase system using bsdinstall on 15.0-CURRENT. The current state is not feature-complete, as it doesn't support offline installation, but will be in 15.0 release." Additional updates can be found in the project's monthly updates report.
