One of them don't even know how to correctly setup Pulseaudio. Typical xfcefag

My recommendation is not using it! Really though I wouldn't use OpenBSD as a desktop distribution (it's got no gaymen support!) but also how else will you learn, you know? Great for embedded stuff and server applications where all the software is open source anyways. >Setting up a faglab? <Boom, OpenBSD. Eat your fuckin' heart out Alma Linux. >Building some weird gizmo? <Boom, OpenBSD. Don't need all that other shit in it. (realistically you would have something even lighter but it's really that versatile) >Website server? <Boom. >Email server? <Boom. >Databases and CDN? <Boom boom. It's OpenBased all the way down playa. Worth learning but not using, at least not on anything that isn't a craptop for periodic usage. I don't know, maybe when you use a computer you go on Barnes & Noble for one hour to browse cookbooks and then go to the park to play basketball.

>>23468 <I wanted to give OpenBSD a try anyway. As long as I can still listening my music and surfing da intarwebs I'm fine. Also with the power of VMs I can still doing whatever I want anyway, right? Of course it's a pretty dumb idea and half of this will cost me a pain in the ass, but I don't wanna end without trying such awesome OS in a actual PC. Also OpenBSD manuals and wiki is really awesome.

Tbh, first I wanted to install NetBSD as main OS on this Thinkpad here. And I actually installed it, but the experience was so goddamn awful. I was even unable to mount my Sandisk pendrive and recover my files (and yes, I used mount -t ext2fs like in the Manpages) So I'm now giving OpenBSD a try, and I'm actually having fun with it rn. It's awesome and does everything right. I installed LXQt as Desktop Environment, and now I installed Falkon to continue updating this thread (Falkon is pretty awesome btw). Now I'm trying to setup some Linux Virtual Machines "just in case". Do you anons have any recommendations at this point?

>>23463 I love OpenBSD. It's my daily driver, server, and router. My router is a corebooted thing, the APU4 (not produced anymore). My daily driver is an x220, librebooted. Sadly OpenBSD doesn't have librewolf. It has ungoogled-chromium and badwolf, firefox, tor-browser, and some more. Otherwise it's hard to recommend anything if you don't give us a usecase

>>24209 Not OP, but I've been wanting to switc over to one of the BSD's from gentoo/void/arch. I did try freebsd and openbsd. Most of the things were satisfactory, but the major issue was my laptop getting extremely hot as soon as being booted. I did raise bug, people trie tk help, but it led no where and I had to give up. I still do check if there has been any development on that issue. I hope one day this gets better. This is the forum post (which has the link to the bug too). https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/excessive-heat-on-lenovo-thinkpad-e450-even-with-cpu-100-idle.89358/ I faced the same with all BSD's including open BSD. I also faced it on libre Linux kernel, so I thought I have no choice but to use proprietary drivers. Anyway, just trying my luck here.

>>24213 You had wired network connected when installing OpenBSD so it could run fw_update post install? If yes, then too bad. I can't help you with that. :( Although FreeBSD did start to invest a lot more for laptop improvements. Perhaps this is a thing they improved or fixed? Btw, I also come from void linux. I still have void on my steam Deck when I feel like gaming. But, I use ZFS, which they will break in the new kernel that comes in December. I might do a deck giveaway some day. These news infuriated me to leave linux entirely
