Föderation · Do 24.04.2025 20:17:48 Still playing around with #OpenBSD on my Desktop PC and to be honest I thought I'd hate it but you know what ? It's actually kind of growing on me. Yes I know I can use #SwayWM with #Wayland but the #Xorg stuff is kind of nostalgically nice, A blast from the past. Also I'm not that worried if I break it as I can just reinstall and start again until I figure it out totally. |

Föderation EN Do 24.04.2025 20:25:06 @justine i have not used an openbsd workstation since the early aughts, but i have contributed to that project and i am tremendously proud of myself for that 🤦😂 i believe openbsd was the first unix to offer antialiased text in a browser (even if it *was* `Konqueror` 😆) i always (almost always) used ion or xmonad and WindowMaker/GNUStep. if i have to pick in a hurry wmaker is easy to understand and appealing (provided you liked OpenStep/NeXT) |

Föderation · Do 24.04.2025 20:36:46 Thanks but I have Herbstluftwm installed just now as I love tiling WM's. On my laptop I run RiverWM as have been a Wayland user for a good few years. Just thought I'd get that true Unixy feel with OpenBSD and an X setup. |

Föderation EN Do 24.04.2025 21:14:02 @justine Last time I ran OpenBSD on a non-server/appliance I was using the dwm window manager with the st terminal. My own wm, mcwm, also with st, before that. OpenBSD worked very nicely on a Thinkpad, much better by default than FreeBSD on the same hardware, including things like sound and suspend/resume. FreeBSD was faster, though, and much better threading/MP. Not sure mcwm will build on a modern OpenBSD/Xenocara, but it's here if you want to try: |
