openBSD is kind of slow, but easier to understand
freeBSD is like a halfway point between openBSD and Linux
make sure to verify hardware support in both cases.

how humble
they do seem to have i386 releases too so I guess I might check it out. I have no problem with customizing though, and was planning on using this system.
>>108654092
This is the reason so much of my code is GPL'd. I hate companies so badly.

>>108653846
Ghostbsd is easy apparently. I am probably gonna try it too at some point.

>>108654132
slow as in heavy?
>>
>>108654142
No, slow as in slow. OpenBSD is very simple software and foregoes a lot of stuff to maintain that simplicity. It is genuinely bad at multicore workloads.
>>
>>108654163
well that should be ok, seeing as I'm on one and a half cores, right? Or does that make it even worse?
Realistically my use case is probably just watching standard definition anime, listening to music, and doing visual editing in a terminal, so it's not exactly strenuous (which is why I picked this laptop up)
