• Introducing the FreeBSD laptop integration testing project

    From LWN.net@86:200/23 to All on Tue Apr 7 06:40:09 2026

    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.
