I decided to try GhoshBSD based on FreeBSD because I am starting to feel that Linux distros are slowly diverging from the Unix philosophy. I understand most of the people are fine with systemd but I just want more simplicity and control over the whole OS.
I liked the first impression, feels fast and stable. So far all the programs I need are there, so I will give it a try. My goal is to have:
- Ly display manager
- bspwm window manager although I maybe try something simple like mwm
- Polybar
- Picom
- Some application launcher (still unsure)
First scan the available networks sudo ifconfig wlan0 up scan
Then connect to the desired network sudo ifconfig wlan0 ssid "DHI Wifi"
Check that it is associated ifconfig
Get an IP address sudo dhclient wlan0
sudo service netif restart
openvpn-client file.ovpn
eval "$(ssh-agent)" and ssh-add private-key
mount -v -t msdosfs /dev/da0s1 /mnt/usb1
fuse-ext2 /dev/da0s1 /mnt/usb1
ntfs-3g /dev/da0s1 /mnt/usb1

This works echo pu5000,5000 > /dev/ulpt0 if you belong to group operator.
