FreeBSD 15.0-RELEASE (12/2/25)
Some of the highlights:
- The FreeBSD "base" system can now be installed and managed using the pkg(8) package manager (see "Packaged base system" below).
- The FreeBSD 15.0 release artifacts (install images, VM images, etc.) were all generated without requiring root privilege.
- FreeBSD now has a native inotify implementation, simplifying directory watching and software porting.
- OpenZFS has been upgraded to 2.4.0-rc4.
- OpenSSL has been upgraded to the latest long-term support (LTS) version, 3.5.4, which includes support for QUIC and now standardized quantum-resistant algorithms, ML-KEM, ML-DSA, and SLH-DSA.
- OpenSSH has been upgraded to 10.0p2 which includes support for quantum-resistant key agreement by default.

Installing every window manager on FreeBSD
We asked you folks what window managers, or desktop environments, besides KDE you'd like us to try installing. So after sifting through over 400 comments, we arrived at a list of 10. In this video we try a neat little tool, available as a package, that makes installing them a simple job.

Make a Simple NAS with FreeBSD and a Raspberry Pi

FreeBSD Device Drivers: From First Steps to Kernel Mastery
Free, open-source book that takes you from "I've never written kernel code" to "I can write, debug, and submit production-quality FreeBSD drivers." It is a guided course rather than a reference, structured around 38 chapters, 6 appendices, and dozens of hands-on labs that compile and load on a real FreeBSD 14.x system.
