@vi @fluxwatcher @mms While "do not mix" #FreeBSD #ports and #packages remains a sane recommendation, it doesn't mean it's impossible to do. All ports do is build (and install) packages. Because they are built a) with different options and b) from different states of the ports tree, "mixing" comes with lots of pitfalls, you'll easily end up with a broken installation.
There's a perfectly safe way to avoid building *everything*: Use poudriere-devel and configure it to fetch packages. It has several checks (version, dependencies, selected options ...) to make sure to only include fetched packages into your repo that perfectly match what you're building.
Does using #nix and its #homemanager #packagemanager in #ubuntu with e.g. #gnome make the #packages installed available as icons on the #desktop when the user, for whom the packages & home manager has been set up, logs into the machine? Or is it only available on the command line of that user? (I mean the process shown in this video which is command line only #cli )

@txt_file You shouldn't install and (try to) use a mix of #packages from different sources (locally built vs official pkgs) ... but doing `pkg install git-tiny` and later update that from #ports won't hurt. Another bootstrap option is to just fetch and extract the `ports.txz` snapshot that's created with every release.
When you're new to #FreeBSD, are you sure you need to build yourself at all? Using official packages is recommended unless you have an actual need to customize build-time options ... or, of course, there are no packages for your target architecture.
