The project is built off of the <code>dwm</code> tiling window manager and only installs a few basic packages. The last time I updated it was with the release of 7.3, so it’s been due for an minor rework.</p> -<p>While making these minor changes, I remembered how incredibly easy the entire install process for OpenBSD is and how <em>cozy</em> the entire operating system feels. All the core systems just work out the box. Yes, you need to “patch” in WiFi with a firmware update, so you’ll need an Ethernet connection during the initial setup. Yes, the default desktop environment is not intuitive or ideal for newcomers.</p> -<p>But the positives heavily outweigh the negatives (in my opinion):</p> -<ul> -<li>Incredibly secure operating system (No <code>xz</code> drama here…)</li> -<li>Detailed documentation. Probably one of the best of any OS</li> -<li>Much smaller codebase and small core team</li> -<li><em>Complete</em> operating system (kernel, userland utilities, libraries, applications combined)</li> -</ul> -<p>These points might not seem important to others, but they are to me. Maybe you’re possibly interested in checking it out yourself? If you are, then read on…</p> -<h2 id="try-it-yourself">Try it Yourself!</h2> -<p>I’ve tried my best to write up a simplified, noob-friendly guide on both setting up the core OpenBSD system, along with installing a simple <code>dwm</code> based desktop environment. These are both focused on personal devices (laptops/computers), so if you’re looking for server-specific setups you won’t find that here!</p> -<p>You can find both of those wiki-pages below:</p> -<ul> -<li><a href="https://btxx.org/wiki/openbsd/installation/">Installing OpenBSD</a></li> -<li><a href="https://btxx.org/wiki/openbsd/desktop_environment/">Setting up a Desktop Environment for OpenBSD</a></li> -</ul> -<p>Some additional reading I highly recommend is: <a href="https://www.c0ffee.net/blog/openbsd-on-a-laptop">c0ffee.net/blog/openbsd-on-a-laptop</a></p> -<footer role="contentinfo"> - <h2>Menu Navigation</h2> - <ul id="menu"> - <li><a href="/">Home</a></li> - <li><a href="/projects">Projects</a></li> - <li><a href="/uses">Uses</a></li> - <li><a href="/wiki">Wiki</a></li> - <li><a href="/resume">Resume</a></li> - <li><a href="/colophon">Colophon</a></li> - <li><a href="/now">Now</a></li> - <li><a href="/donate">Donate</a></li> - <li><a href="/atom.xml">RSS</a></li> - <li><a href="#top">↑ Top of the page</a></li> - </ul> - <small> - Built with <a href="https://git.sr.ht/~bt/barf">barf</a>. <br> - Maintained with ♥ for the web. <br> - Proud supporter of <a href="https://usefathom.com/ref/DKHJVX">Fathom</a> & <a href="https://nextdns.io/?from=74d3p3h8">NextDNS</a>. <br> - The content for this site is <a href="https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0/">CC-BY-SA</a>.<br> The <a href="https://git.sr.ht/~bt/bt.ht">code for this site</a> is <a href="https://git.sr.ht/~bt/bt.ht/tree/master/item/LICENSE">MIT</a>. - </small> -</footer>
