I'm amazed at OpenBSD. It installs like a breeze, immediately works and Lagrange is in the official packages. Much easier to get to that point than on my Arch Linux computer. I am taken by surprise, was expecting much more work.

I have installed it on a x220. What do you mean by the desktop? If you mean the window manager I have installed i3 and it works great here. But the choice is yours. 路 2 years ago
God haven't used it in 20 years lol. Is the desktop any good? Can you install it on a Raspberry Pi now? 路 2 years ago
when I ask people who are more familiar with BSDs they usually say that, OpenBSD for desktop and FreeBSD for servers, as a rule of thumb. 路 2 years ago
As per today is my favorie BSD desktop OS, perhaps on the server side I would still use FreeBSD... 馃 路 2 years ago

I had the same reaction when I first installed it. There were a few gaps in my understanding, but once I read through their (excellent) docs it was a lot simpler than I expected.
I didn't end up sticking with it, but I do use FreeBSD from time-to-time. Different, but has a lot of the same strengths when compared to the average Linux distro. 路 2 years ago
