Dual boot Windows 10 and FreeBSD with ZFS

April 13, 2020

I followed the guide located here

I am currently dual booting FreeBSD 13.RC5 (13-RELEASE should be out extremely soon as of this post) and Windows 10. I have had no issues.

But can you watch DRM enabled content like Netflix? You bet you can! Download and run https://github.com/mrclksr/linux-browser-installer. Works like a charm. It actually loads faster than native Firefox.

In addition, I have bhyve with an Ubuntu 20.04 guest. I am using the tool vm to manage virtual machines. I will make that another post.

All in all, I can say I am quite pleased. My laptop has the dual graphics, and I previously did have it using the Nvidia graphics card, but I just have it using the built in Intel graphics and it works great. Most of the games I like are pre-2010 so the card handles it great!

Hardware of note:

Intel Wireless 3165
GP107M [GeForce GTX 1050 Mobile]
Intel HD Graphics 630

The one regret is that it does NOT support my ALFA AR9271. Maybe one day.
