Well, I did not manage to install and boot Linux so far hahaha :-)
Even Ubuntu install but does not boot! :-)

I have found some information over the net about buggy nvidia driver
in UEFI mode. I have experienced repeatedly system crash when running
Xorg+nVidia. I have made a PR :-)

I will, thank you :-)

You are most welcome :-) Thank you guys for great work! I really
consider FreeBSD to be my favorite OS! Even after switching to OSX I
came back to FreeBSD. Now I can safely work on OSX and FreeBSD and
avoid Windows and Linux :-) :-)

Best regards! :-)
