@lproven @theregister It's not Nightly Firefox, it's just that Firefox calls itself Nightly when you disable the (non-free) Mozilla branding.

@lproven @theregister I got tired of jumping through '90s-era hoops to get a GUI login up on current FreeBSD on my Thinkpad and switched to MidnightBSD.

Is NetBSD better at that?

@resuna @theregister Both OpenBSD and NetBSD default to giving you a graphical login and an Xterm, if you say that you want it. FreeBSD is lagging behind here, as I told them.

@lproven @theregister When I installed FreeBSD on my Toshiba Libretto in the late '90s or early 2000s it defaulted to giving me a graphical login to a window manager. Now you have to edit text files to configure X11 to make it work. This is not just lagging behind, it's a major regression.
