  • libc6-shim

    Cheap glibc knockoff

    • I ran FreeBSD on my nvidia laptop for around a year some time ago and the display drivers seems to work, as long as it was only as a display driver. It was an issue if you wanted vulkan, but that was recently added to the driver. Though if you wanted to play games or get hardware accel to work you would have to run it through a hacked glibc
