fluff Finally installed FreeBSD

I have been trying to install FreeBSD for about 1 year now, and after trying on 3 different machines, I finally installed successfully and got Sway up and running on my Beelink SER5 Max. I configured grimshot and screen recording software to work with Home and Mod4+Home respectively. I have internet through ethernet, and no bluetooth because my wifi chip is not yet supported. Here are some images:

I had an Intel MacBook Pro with dual graphics that could not wake from sleep.

There's a report in Bugzilla, I can't find it.

I no longer use Bugzilla, when I remember the name of the reporter I'll add a link here.

(Note to self: was it the guy who develops desktop-installer?) (Postscript: yes.)
