Finally a good usable guide on Freebsd 15.1 on my Thinkpad Carbon X1.
I presume it is usable also for other laptops.Running latest 15.1, with A/C wifi and MangoWC / suspend & resume
The guide uses KDE but with Wayland it is easy to install Mango for example.
Just do not use Ly as login manager (I do not use X11)
Do not forget to install / enable SeatdGreat!

TIL: there’s a thing named #DankLinux, which is “a complete desktop shell for #niri, #Hyprland, #MangoWC, #Sway, #labwc, #Scroll, #MiracleWM, and other #Wayland compositors”. This might be a quick and easy way to get all the little details working out of the box, and to get a consistent look’n’feel as a bonus.
(EDIT: oh, and it’s based on #QuickShell.)

Finally took the plunge and installed OpenBSD 7.9 on my spare laptop.
Install went smoothly with some help from a howto
Wifi was installed using the Ethernet connection. Needed to download firmware for the iwm driver..And the move to a desktop on seatd/MangoWC took me some research and some friendly help on Mastodon (thanks @justine )
Wifi speed on the X1 carbon (older config) is remarkly good. Good enough for my purpose and erlated to the older adapter I presume.
Now the customizing starts.

Sweet. #VoidLinux installed to new partition. Dual boot #Arch and #Void is working good. Got WiFi working and void update done. Default font was way too small for my old eyes. Couldn't seem to find any that were larger in the default console fonts folder though. Copied over the HUGE ter-132b from my Arch partition and I can read again.
Next up getting a little more familiar with void and maybe checking out #MangoWC

Zena Linux, that bootc container image with Mangowc and Niri, is humming along nicely. Finally spending some time to clean up configs for both wm's. And Fastfetch to do also 😜

Anyone for the outdatedness of Slackware?
My Slackware Tilers setup runs Sway, with the nwg-shell. And Mangowc with Noctalia. And Niri with Dank. Hyprland is available, but not installed. And Slackware Current. All from one iso and repository by @jloc0 . Smart thing: package sets are linked by symbolic links. Type "slackpkg install dank" and you'll see all related packages before they're pulled in. Way less 'dependency hell'. And very much up to date 😄 Thanks Jay!

Die nächste #hyprland Version hat scrolling bereits eingebaut! Bisher braucht man das hyprscroller plugin.
Stark!

Seit längerem auf meinem Arbeitsrechner von #mangowc auf #niri umgestellt.
scratchpad fehlt nun leider, aber dafür kann ich die unterschiedlichen SAP-Systeme (Produktiv, Test) wieder anhand der Fensterrahmenfarbe erkennen. Die Möglichkeit verschiedene Tilings, je nach Tag, einzustellen nutzte ich kaum.
Und die Übersichten sind bei niri schon Klasse, sowohl die Workspace-Übersicht als auch die Fensterübersicht!
Hier kann man sehr schön justieren, ob man nur die Fenster des Monitors, des Workspaces oder alle Fenster sehen möchte. -

System revamp completed.
Don't bother me for the next 10 years. -

Really dig this mango. Best compositor for wayland.

I use both on different machines.
On #mangowc I use #dms because it has a widget to set the layout and you can place widgets on top above all windows. -

Updated the codeberg.org/thesaigoneer/freebsd-mangowc repo. Still a lot to do, but at least the most relevant things are there, including the mango configs itself 😆 Also the sw selection has been amended, including yazi and foot now.

@jwallen @open-source-ZDNet thank you so much for the review of #StratOS! Never did I (or we, the @StratOS team) expect a review from a major outlet such as ZDNet. Words aren't enough to express my most sincere gratitude.
I'm the maintainer of the #Hyprland spin, and I'm REALLY happy you like it. And we've got more spins coming up - #SwayFX, #Cosmic, #MangoWC etc.
I'm also working on a sister project called #CosmOS, which tries to replicate this on #NixOS. It's still a work-in-progress, though, but one fine day it'll be on par with the other spins.
CCing other members of the team (those who I do know are on the fediverse) @magitian and @Slipstream8125.
Once again, thank you so much for the (what is in my humble opinion very positive) review, and stay tuned. I hope know your article is going to draw attention to the distro, so we'll have to ramp up the maintenance 💪🏻.

When you have your Mango fresh and up and running on Slackware. And you get bored with DankMaterialShell? There's always Noctalia coming to the rescue 😜
Another fine production by @jloc0 on Slackware Current!

@lebout2canap
Some great features included. \o/ -
But with one keybind it scrolls as well 🤓
Slackware Current, MangoWC, DankMaterialShell, another fine production by @jloc0 -
Of course it tiles. MangoWC on Slackware Current, DankMaterialShell on the right. Ghostty as terminal, kernel 6.18.3, who said Slackware was a bit behind the times?

Just noticed there's a Slackware Cosmic iso available ( previously it was the packages, add the repo etc). Also saw the patch for Mangowc on FreeBSD being committed. Or I'll compile it myself 🤔 Then it can be added to my Slackware Tilers box. Leaving the NUC for that Cosmic thing. Coffee ☕ first.

W czasie moich peregrynacji/kombinacji z różnymi window managerami, natknąłem się na #mangowc, całkiem przyjemny kompozytor korzystający z Wayland-a. Trochę podobny do dwm/dwl, ale prostszy w konfiguracji(zwykły plik tekstowy toml), do tego ma zestaw predefiniowanych layout-ów(czego mi brakowało w sway i hyprland) i łatwo go oskryptować via IPC.

What great news! Now that is something I've been on the lookout for 🥳
At the time @evilham wrote a nice blog post about how, together with @justine , the port was submitted. Read it here: https://evilham.eu/es/blog/2025-FreeBSD-adopting-a-port-maomaowm/
On we go! Many thanks to all involved 💪🏻
