Hello @Daasin
We are working on https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jQsPPZultWo In the meantime, you can use the FreeBSD way (remember helloSystems still is FreeBSD under the hood): Open QTerminal, then use |

Right now you can run the Update application after having installed helloSystem to disk. I don't think that having this in a separate application rather than the installer is a showstopper for 1.0.0. |

But how updating the base components/kernel? Like a full OS update as opposed to just applications we install separately from online 🤔 |

This will also update/patch the FreeBSD base components/kernel. |

@probonopd What would you think about a Discord Server for the wider project in the run up to release candidates? 🤔I know it may seem strange just hear me out here, But a customizable & intuitive platform that many communities & enthusiasts are already familiar with and find to be popular can be useful and it's already seen use by developing projects of all shapes and sizes with both FOSS and non-FOSS licenses. instant & ephemeral chats that can easily be logged when edited or deleted using moderation bots while still allowing standard images or videos for either troubleshooting or whatever needs to be discussed about the core base/helloGUI. Also supports threading/formatting for temporary or more general topics. Can have votes, reactions, announcements that people opt into receiving notifs for on either Phones or on Webapp To conclude (Non-Exhaustive List) even if newer, It certainly has its advantages compared to more traditional options: (Not a complete list but just making a point)

Would definitely be more friendly for the crowd that is less-experienced with forums but still interested in or fans of the project :3 |

What is wrong with our iRC/Matrix combination? |

Nothing wrong but perhaps raises the bar for engagement on some of those who would want to reach out, ones that may be interested in the project and that could be beneficial to get feedback from. May find it complex or difficult to use them with the differences, not proposing a complete replacement since they can be interoperable. People talking on one can interact with those on the other through the use of pre-created bots :) |

We need a language setting that can change the system. This is the most basic human need, because not all computers have EFI that can automatically select the language correctly. |

The color of the startup screen Logo should be darker, like this. |

Yes please! Also of note, although it might be trivial, ttys are nearly unusable for someone with poor eyesight. And as far as I can tell, once cannot easily change this without digging into the kernel, is this correct? |

I think it would be quite helpful to have something of a hybrid between the more recent trend, in Linux with the "Welcome" screen that runs at first boot, or thereafter. We already have the first boot "Hello" thing, so this seems to be something trivially implemented, and quite helpful to those who might not know their way around a FreeBSD system. This, and a keyboard shortcut overlay/cheat sheet would be interesting, perhaps invoked by pressing the 'Meta' key. |

Keyboard shortcuts are always printed in the menu next to the respective command. What would be the benefit of an extra sheet? |

An easy way to configure Bluetooth and connect peripherals of this type without having to know how to hack the matrix. |

Yesterday I tried it with my hearing aids and it was hell (note that in the end I did not succeed) |

Bluetooth is something that we should write a GUI utility for, or find an existing (Py)Qt one. Do you know a good one? |

Unfortunately no, yesterday I spent a good time searching and did not find anything like it. Almost everything is GTK. |

When I have the time later today I can do some looking. Any special requirements other than no GTK?

(Py)Qt, as few dependencies as possible, must not depend on "half of KDE Plasma". |

I have opened a ticket that will collect must-haves for 1.0.0.
Please feel free suggest must-haves for a 1.0.0 release. Once all must-haves are implemented, we may consider starting a test cycle toward a 1.0.0 release.
