Why isn't there a specific version of FreeBSD for the raspberry pi zero 2W ? I see that there is another image that I can install,this one : FreeBSD-14.2-STABLE-arm64-aarch64-RPI-20250320-84ca9ab010dc-270791.img. Is there any chance that it works better than this one ? ---> FreeBSD-14.2-RELEASE-arm64-aarch64-RPI.img ? ->I've no clue what the minimum RAM might be for firefox use ->in your context. For all I know, 512 MiBytes might be too ->little. How little may well depend on which graphics ->environment you are using, as it all competes for RAM+SWAP . I can setup the swap space following this tutorial : https://docs.vultr.com/how-to-add-swap-memory-on-freebsd-14-0 How many GB of swap do you suggest to add ?
