just came across it this week and bookmarked it, saw your post and was like “oh shit i actually know this” lmao
with the current situation, we gotta start thinking about using non-US OS for safety reasons.
openbsd is supposedly based in canada
if you’re feeling particularly bold
my fear with BSD is mostly compatibility since even recent Debian struggled with my machine 😔 not sure how BSD development has been going
https://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq5.html don’t know if building from source would run better?
modern debian worked GREAT on my 2004 desktop with (iirc) 512mb RAM (could have been 1GB actually, maybe 1.5GB, it’s been ages) and some Pentium 4 (this was 2022 or 2023 i think, but it was the newest debian at the time). i think i started with a minimal install and then used awesome window manager. don’t think i used a login manager but used startx or something. ran better than a lot of new computers these days

debian does really work well on older stuff, i am still hoping they fix my mouse issue (plus some other accessories, including my mic) so i can just ditch the mint with ubuntu to LMDE.
