I bet Discord itself does several orders of magnitude worse things with Your data then it tries to scare You with X11 bullshit.
... and X11 is better then ever with XLibre X11 sever - I use it daily since they forked from crippled and broken by some Red Hat employees Xorg X11.
Wayland is a huge NO GO for me.

Iโm staying on 14.x for as long...
@nprofile1q...
Yep, its not yet perfect.
You can also use 15.x in NON-PKGBASE mode - with distribution sets and freebsd-update(8) the same as with 14.x.
The 16.x is the first FreeBSD that will ONLY allow PKGBASE way of things.

@nprofile1q...
Yes its strange ... I upgraded the other 15.0 system just fine - no issues at all - and another one ... yeah.

If You upgrade PKGBASE FreeBSD from 15.0 to 15.1-RELEASE version make sure You have these packages installed after 'pkg upgrade' command:
- FreeBSD-pam
- FreeBSD-pam-dev
- FreeBSD-pam-lib
- FreeBSD-zstd-lib
Because w/o them - You will not be able to login(1) or use pkg(8) at all.

@nprofile1q...
There are several explanations to this.
FreeBSD is not like Linux - things that were posted long time ago are still valid on FreeBSD.
Often when I add older stuff I try to remember to add [YEAR] at the end of title to suggest that its not from yesterday but still valuable - I do not remember and know all of the Internet - sometimes I see some blogs or article YEARS after they were posted - its just I was not able to find them.
... and in the end I am just a human - I make errors and mistakes - thank You for reminding me of my human nature.
