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> |
