https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D279174 Bug ID: 279174 Summary: POLA violation: Graphical Installer for a natively text UI OS Product: Base System Version: CURRENT Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Some People Priority: --- Component: misc Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: concussious.bugzilla@runbox.com "The new installer is expected to increase the attractiveness of the system= for users who are accustomed to graphical installers and perceive text interfac= es as outdated." FreeBSD has an exceptionally consistent, elegant, and efficient entirely te= xt based interface which comprises the base system. People will be astonished after a graphical bootloader then graphical installer drops them into a text interface after installing the system. To be clear, this is amazing work and I hope all of our graphical downstrea= ms are collaborating and using it. But, there's not a lot of spaces left for people who need a moderm advanced operating system, not a toy, and prefer T= UI. This has always been one of those spaces. Thanks everyone, and sorry to speak up in a critical way. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
