Improvements to Laptop Sleep Handling
As part of the larger laptop improvements project, we are developing support for the newer S0ix states for sleep/hibernation. Many modern laptops are using S0ix versus the older S3 standard. With S0ix, the operating system is responsible for figuring out what devices need to be put to sleep before the CPU can be turned off, and the firmware will automatically turn off the CPU only once all the requirements are met.
In Progress
FreeBSD Userland Development
Historically, FreeBSD has been seen as a rock solid, secure and trustworthy server operating system. There’s no denying that it can also be a desktop operating system. The project has long recognized a desktop use case for FreeBSD, so the Userland Development initiative aims to improve the user experience. This fits in with the larger sponsored effort to improve FreeBSD on modern laptops.
In Progress
