This is not objective review of OpenBSD but fun post about adventure with OpenBSD from long time Linux user perspective.
Comments welcome! Especially from OpenBSD users. Do you agree? Disagree? Maybe I forgot to check something cool?

@drh3xx no worries. Just posted the link so more people can read about OpenBSD and another cool stuff from Solene'% capsule · 4 weeks ago
@shway thanks for providing a link. I guess I owe Solene an apology no idea where I plucked cpufreqd from. Havin a few mental health issues at the mo so I'll chalk it up to that. · 4 weeks ago
do you know about Antenna?

@drh3xx Thanks for mentioning cpufreqd! I'll try and check how it will improve CPU temperature and I'll edit this post with my findings.
@m0xee I cannot test Wayland on this laptop, sway didn't work on it in the past on Linux due to something missing in mesa driver and I'm almost sure that if something changed it changed for worse with this hardware… If you have couple of 32-bit systems and want to keep them alive I think this might be really hard in near future. If you are scared of OpenBSD I would say that I also was but this is pretty normal system, I was surprised how little surprised I was. · 1 month ago
Nice little review! I wonder if that Wayland is functional, I'm usually find with dwm on X11, but I would prefer Sway over it any day. I also wonder how well it would work on even older, but more common hardware — like old ThinkPads, would wireless network work well enough, maybe at slower rates. I have a couple of T4x ThinkPads and not muchhis holding me back on Linux, I really want to try OpenBSD on them, and maybe FreeBSD too — while it still supports 32-bit Intel machines. But TBH they both work so well with Void Linux, than I'm not sure I'm up for such an endeavour 😄 · 1 month ago
Hi, nice write up. There are a couple of things I'd like to comment on. Softdep did work on OpenBSD until the latest release. They decided to remove it as it was holding back some development efforts (general perf improvement of filesystem I believe). Also, the high CPU temp is likely due to a decision a few releases back. Installing cpufreqd by solene would have sorted that out for you. It's a great little daemon and supports seperate performance or thermal profiles for on battery vs AC power. · 1 month ago
