Justine SmithiesI'm this close 🤏 to reinstalling #OpenBSD back onto my Thinkpad. Might be a project for this weekend?

×××××@justine i used to be interested in installing openbsd on something but never got around to doing it.
Go on. You know you should. ;)
@justine at this point i've been nixos-pilled and i'm in too deep 
also what do you like about openbsd? i was curious about it because security and also because i haven't used a bsd.
I love it's simplicity and at the same time it's security with the added bonus that the excellent devs do not try to follow the crowd. I've been a BSD user for a while using FreeBSD but OpenBSD just seems to appeal to me more. I was a long time Linux user but I'm not keen on the way that's heading now although I'd take it any day over microslops OS.

You can have it all!
@silverwizard tempting.... i actually didn't know nix was available on any of the bsds.
that being said, nixos allows the management of system services and state. with just nix you can only do user-level management. even so that's probably about 75% of the way there because most things that happen on a desktop system are user-level configuration/services.
Antony@silverwizard @athousandcateaus @justine Does that actually work on obsd? I thought it was just Linux and MacOS.
@afb @silverwizard @justine yeah, it may be a case of not being officially supported by nix, but potentially works?
also nix works on other things too, like wsl2 and there's a fork of termux called nix-on-droid that is just a nix environment.
