You have thrown out the baby with the bathwater.

Integrated, offline, semantically tagged documentation subsystem is better than your dependency-riddled, half baked webapp of the day.

And I'm going to to prove it.

Does installing x11/nvidia-xconfig, back up (if exists) /etc/X11/xorg.conf and run nvidia-xconfig and reading generated one give you some hints to pick? Its manpage would shows you a bunch of options.

For the first time, my dual gpu laptop is working as advertised with this patch on 15.1-RC1. I can switch between desktop and vt, or leave the desktop entirely. This is wonderful.

ziaee added a comment to D57051: Where: Clarify choosing an Image section.

Honestly, this section was broken and is still broken, because the section is called "choosing an image" but it does not explain the images. BASIC-CI, the most FAQ, now has a disclaimer that it is not what the reader intuitively thinks is, which is a doc smell, due to the an extremely unequal weighting of information where no other VM image is even explained at all. Cloudinit images are not mentioned, and they are the hot thing right now. The difference between DVD1 vs disc1 is not explained at all, so people will still ask questions about what those are.

I propose to use the same link, as "Documentation" item in th top menu (website/themes/layouts/_partials/site-header.html)
On the top of the page:
{{ $currentLang := $.Site.Language.Lang }}

link in site-header:
<a href="{{ printf "%s%s%s" "https://docs.FreeBSD.org/" $currentLang "/articles" }}">{{ i18n "h-articles" }}</a>

Proposed link text:
<a href="{{ printf "%s%s%s" "https://docs.FreeBSD.org/" $currentLang "/articles/contributing" }}" class="column-element">{{ i18n "f-get-involved" }}</a>

One thing we may want to investigate is building the SBOM files into the ELF headers instead. Sony has compiler extensions to do that -- https://github.com/sony/esstra/tree/poc/rust-llvm

We still have a broken link in the site footer (community/get involved >> it's missing the /en/ in the name). I opened https://reviews.freebsd.org/D57064, but I know this is not the correct fix. How did you realize this was the issue?

The new diff fixes the problems rendered in make run. Approving as myself, releng based on the discussion with @dch and @cperciva, and approving as doceng based on myself and feedback timeout. @dch on behalf of Core Team said earlier that this is fine with secteam, clusteradm said it was fine over email, #translations said no objection earlier. Afaict, we have successfully got someone from each team to sign off on it, and we can now merge this with consensus.
