DragonflyBSD
This dongle is a DragonflyBSD is a free, UNIX-like operating system that is part of the BSD family focused on performance and optimization. It is based on the same UNIX ideals and APIs and shares ancestor code with other BSD operating systems.
It contains a bunch of useful features which sets it apart from other BSD/Linux-based operating systems, one being HAMMER - it's own high-performance filesystem with built-in mirroring and historic access functionality.
Other features include:
- Virtual kernels providing the ability to run a full-blown kernel as a user process for the purpose of managing resources or for accelerated kernel development and debugging
- Token-based synchronisation mechanism for it's kernel, in turn allowing for DragonflyBSD to parallelize the system with less effort compared to other kernels, which primarily use hard mutex locks.
- Optimised for SSD usage by utilising a swapcache.
- Instant readable/writeable snapshots
Tips
loading video and audio drivers on boot
unlike FreeBSD, DragonFly doesn't automatically load drivers at boot you will need to add it to the /etc/rc.conf file with the syntax:
<module>_load="YES"
replacing <module> with your driver name (which can be find in /boot/kernel).
for example to load the legacy intel driver i915 and the intel HD Audio driver snd_hda add this to /etc/rc.conf
i915_load="YES" snd_hda_load="YES"
Getting keyboard to work in X
If your keyboard isn't working in Xorg, then install xf86-input-evdev like this:
pkg install xf86-input-evdev
then add this to your /etc/sysctl.conf file:
kern.evdev.rcpt_mask=6
