Anyone here uses OpenBSD as daily driver? What's it like? Do you dualboot?
I'm a linux user, I'm very curious about what the benefits are to using openBSD over linux besides just being a hipster and going "linux? that's too mainstream for me."
>>107479252There's no "benefits" as a desktop OS. It's a router OS.That said, as a desktop it fills the niche of a lightweight non-ramhog operating system you can put on pretty much any old hardware.
>>107479310Oh, I was confusing openBSD with freeBSD then. pardon me, I know extremely little about BSD operating systems.
I loved their man pages but no

>>107479183I'll be making the switch sooner or later. Too many zoomerfaggots / jeets in the loonix space, it just isn't what it used to be. Especially now that the DHH jew made a pre-riced arch experience and paid EVERYONE to shill it. Sadly FreeBSD is just as gay, and the mascot (beastie) portrays a demon (satanism is literally faggotry).Which leaves OpenBSD as the natural choice.
OpenBSD is a meme at this point.I've used it as a daily driver, some 20 years ago.But the file system is just a deal breaker now.
>>107479183I did for a while, only switched back to linux for wine and gui vms. It's great for just web browsing/coding, works better ootb than freebsd ime
>>107479183I used OpenBSD as a daily driver for around a year and ended up switching to Gentoo. >>107479638>But the file system is just a deal breaker now.This was specifically the reason why I switched. I literally had to buy a UPS for it to be even remotely viable even then I still ran into file corruption issues.
>>107479183I tried, only to murder my HDD twice. GhostBSD is the Linux Mint of BSDs. It. Just. Works.
>>107479310it's not lightweight - it's slow, it's boots ages even on modern hardware due to antiquated init system and some "security" features. it's "security" through "inefficiency" os

I like it. It let's you focus on your work.
>>107484569You almost let this one slip into the archive...
>>107479310>multiple WMs in base system>not a desktop OSPull your head out of your ass. OpenBSD is definitely a desktop OS, just not a desktop OS for everyone.
