Why OpenBSD? It’s good on your desktop or laptop too!
OpenBSD works well as a workstation too.
- OpenBSD is one of the main X.org development platforms. If the hardware is supported by X, Bob’s your uncle
- Common ‘desktop’ software such as browsers (Firefox, Chromium), Libreoffice, editors etc are available as packages
- No flashplayer other than Chromium’s dark magic
- Recent wifi drivers (iwm) developed on OpenBSD, ported to FreeBSD -current
- Most (probably all) OpenBSD developers run OpenBSD on their laptops
Some apps need pampering via sysctls or memory settings, ask me for specifics (or look it up)!
See eg https://home.nuug.no/~peter/transition/bsdcan2014/ - I may revive those tutorials if there’s interest
