--0000000000001fd8c60615abf922 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" Hi everyone, Something that we hear from users is that it's not always easy to determine which hardware makers provide good FreeBSD support. An initial step to improving this situation is to gather the community's collective experience with hardware and publish a guide with aggregated, anonymous results. That's the idea with this survey: https://forms.gle/Es7Lwu4xYGde74dJ7 (Note that the survey asks for your email only in the event we have follow-up questions). Please take a few minutes to complete the survey and share it wherever you think is appropriate. Here's a bit of text you can use if you wish to share it with others: The FreeBSD Foundation is running a hardware support survey in order to help FreeBSD users more easily identify hardware that provides good FreeBSD support. If you have experience that will help, please complete the survey: https://forms.gle/Es7Lwu4xYGde74dJ7 If you have ideas on this topic outside the survey, I would love to hear from you. Note that others have brought up https://bsd-hardware.info/ which is a valuable list, however it may be incomplete since many FreeBSD users are unable to add the probe to their systems.
