[2022-04-28]..OpenBSD.on.AppleM1.gmi
Clickbait title I know... so if you read my previous post about macOS you would have understood that my employeer replaced my laptop by one of this new Apple Mac Book Pro M1. Well, it's OK, it's just work. Doesn't matter than Monterey isn't exciting me more than Snow Leopard at the time I gave up on Apple. It will do the job.
Now, what is getting me excited is so see that OpenBSD already runs on this hardware. And I said already because it is *normal* that it takes times to get support on freshly released hardware. I have been using OpenBSD on arm32 before and arm64 as well (Pine64-LTS). So I kind of expected some funny installation process. Well, in a way it was a little disapointing ^^. That installation process is way too easy! The guys at asahilinux have done an amazing job making this a very straight forward process. I have just followed the steps describe by Mark on his initial email to arm@ [0]
And it does work! No hiccup. It is totally useable. I need to find more time to play with it. But I encourage anyone with this hardware to give it a shot cause it looks pretty good and doesn't feel "alpha" at all.
More to come soon!
