After around 23 years, I think I finally made a decision to switch from #Linux to #OpenBSD. It gives me this fantastic feeling of discovering new horizons and seems much more coherent. Also has no #techbros behind it.
I might even remove Linux from main SSD and leave it only on my USB disk to play one old Windows game that I have.
It seems like the only thing I will miss is battery life on Linux. But I'm ready for this tradeoff.

@as400 very good decision. Zsh and alacritty too. I3, no idea, I'm using pekwm.
Would you be agreed to share your dmesg on https://dmesgd.nycbug.org/

@as400 very good CPU throttling, acpi, WiFi, nice screen, so much ram. Wonderful machine

Indeed, I suspect #OpenBSD does not use all C-states and P-states.

On Linux going from 80% to 20% charge I was getting around 7 hours of uptime easily when using "powersave" power profile and running most of the stuff on efficiency and low power cores.

@as400 does obsdfreqd can improve the situation? This is not directly linked , but this could help to throtle before going to sleep mode. https://dataswamp.org/~solene/2022-03-21-openbsd-cool-frequency.html

It doesn't throttle lower than apmd by itself. So no real sense to use it.
