FreeBSD Foundation Executive Director Faces Challenges with Zoom on Framework Laptop
The Executive Director of the FreeBSD Foundation, Deb Goodkin, has been experimenting with using FreeBSD as her daily operating system on a Framework Laptop. Historically, Goodkin found running FreeBSD on laptops to be a challenging and time-consuming task. However, recent improvements in FreeBSD's laptop support have encouraged her to try using it daily. While the basic functionalities such as the touchscreen and peripherals like a wireless mouse worked seamlessly, she encountered issues with video conferencing applications. Specifically, Zoom initially failed for video calls but eventually worked after troubleshooting. Additionally, the web camera required extra steps to enable, and Microsoft Teams only partially functioned. Despite these challenges, Goodkin was able to successfully use FreeBSD on her laptop with the help of online resources.
