It's OK to ask questions. You gained answers :-)


The real questions for me(don't want waste too much time on install) would be:
  • =E2=80=A6
  • =E2=80=A6 Can I install linux and freebsd in the same m= achine

You have options such as VirtualBox.

If you prefer dual boot: sorry, there's no relevant mention of the phrase in the FreeBSD Handbook.


  • =E2=80=A6
  • =E2=80=A6 youtube tutorials,

Some of the most popular videos are a huge waste of time. Some are misleading.

Please, what is your native language?

Installation of FreeBSD (the operating system) is not time-consuming. Choose 13.1-RELEASE, unless you have a special reason to choose a different version (see below).

Subsequent installation of a desktop environment might take more time, but not too much.

If you will install to hardware (not to a virtual machine), it will help to know at least two things:

1. the graphics hardware

2. the wireless hardware, if any.
