OK just ordered 32Gb DDR4 ram and an NVME 1Tb M2 2880 drive to upgrade my freebie Dell Optiplex 3080 Tower. It's the i5-10500 version so it'll make a nice #BSD desktop for me and save me using the #ThinkPad all the time. #RunBSD

I probably will install #FreeBSD but I have looked at maybe trying #OpenBSD but I'm kind of put off by the small selection of #Wayland stuff. I'm not sure wether I would, should or could go back to an X based WM ??? Food for thought thought and feel free OpenBSD family to tell me why I should or not.

Justine Smithies You should try it and not let anything about Wayland hold you back. Just go with X. Its fine. (This is my take, as a person who has never even used Wayland)

Justine Smithies Have I asked if you'd looked at Dragonfly, Justine? I recall wondering about it some years back, but I didn't actually get around to doing anything about it. I vaguely recall seeing somewhere that desktops were quite good on it, but that was years ago. The filesystem looked interesting... show more

If I did give #OpenBSD a shot and obviously went with the flow using an X based WM then I do like the look of #HerbstluftWM as it seems very scriptable too. 🤔

Justine Smithies Does OpenBSD have anything more sane than FFS to offer? Because I wouldn't want to go back to that.
