Description:
Recently, the FreeBSD Foundation has been making
progress on improving the operating system's support for modern
laptop hardware. The foundation is now looking to expand testing to
encompass a wider range of hardware; it has announced a laptop integration testing project to allow the community to easily
test FreeBSD's compatibility with laptops and submit the results. With
limited access to testing systems, there's only so much we can
do! We hope to work together with volunteers from the community who
want FreeBSD to work well on their laptops. While we expect device hardware and software enumeration to be a
fully automated process, we feel that manually-submitted comments
about personal experience with FreeBSD are equally valuable. We plan
to highlight this commentary on our "matrix of compatibility" webpage
for each tested laptop. We are striving to make it as easy as possible to submit your
results. You won't have to worry about environment setup, submission formatting, or any repo-specific details! See the project
repository and testing
instructions for more.
