I have recently started trying out BSDs as an alternative to Linux and found out that Spotify isn’t supported. Before you say try it in a browser this doesn’t work as spotify has DRM that doesn’t work on BSD OSes.
Now is there a way to stream music similar to Spotify? I know there is a downloader program available.
Furthermore do you know what self-hosted options are available? I already have a basic *arr stack and am always up for convoluted server and Linux hijinks.
To what? Provide the error message and stop asking to be spoonfed? And you can hit ^L to make the install refresh the screen like with any curses program, fyi.
It’s USB related. Probably an unsupported device. If it’s really an issue I can address it later but first I need to get the thing installed. Also I had no idea you could do that with ncurses.
Running FreeBSD on a laptop newer than 5ish years old is asking for a bad time no matter what. Linux has Intel and AMD engineers implementing power management for their parts. FreeBSD has no such help. Your laptop will likely be idling at a much higher power consumption than it would under Linux.

Never used current, I went with stable. What’s the solution?

Also ctrl+L isn’t clearing the screen.
That is your bluetooth adapter. Just disable it, press 3 at the boot menu to break to loader prompt and

I managed to fix it using some command from a forum luckily.
I now believe it’s Bluetooth related. Boads well for using Bluetooth devices.
An idea, maybe just stick to Linux if first class hardware and proprietary software support is what you’re chasing.
I hardly use Bluetooth. But yes I don’t think FreeBSD will work on my laptop for example. It has issues with the keyboard on that machine.
