amazing. I got OpenBSD installed on my old laptop, but:
1. the bsd.mp kernel is noticeably and consistently slower than the bsd.sp kernel during normal use?!
1.a. bsd.mp takes ~5 mins to boot, bsd.sp takes ~30 seconds.
2. if i leave it up long enough, it burns through all available inodes and deadlocks.
fuckin' computers, i swear lmao
time to install OpenBSD on my old laptop and see if i can reproduce my preferred setup[1]. wish me luck~
[1]: sans desktop environment, since i want to try a tiling wm of some sort or something like that.
Elaborating on those points a bit...
Security: I try to run as few things on my systems as possible, so it's largely just a matter of how secure the base system and default settings are.
Virtual machines: I do a lot of operating system development, so if VMs aren't easy to work with it's gonna get real frustrating.
Electron apps: 🙃 🙃 🙃 fuck electron so much.
Lightweight, keyboard-driven WM/DE: using a mouse is physically painful for me and i need to accommodate that.
So, I want to try using a BSD as my primary OS again.
I'm currently trying to figure out which to choose.
Basically I'm looking for:
- relatively secure
- ease of working with virtual machines (atm i tend to use QEMU/KVM)
- ability to run some electron chat apps (at least Discord, Slack, and Signal) or alternative clients for them
- a lightweight GUI that can be used in a mostly-keyboard-driven fashion.
But that can't work if it's not documented in a way that's easily understood.
Sure, you can look at each piece in isolatio: 6 of the 9 libraries are <=270 LOC.
But that completely ignores the architectural aspects of it, or the details of integrating them.
