Actually OpenBSD is really great for a desktop especially on laptops - the only downside is almost non existent nvidia support, though you will be fine with intel & most radeons.
- keithpeter 11y agoThe interviewee is involved with the xfce4 ports/packages and by amazing coincidence I'm using that DE under OpenBSD 5.8 now on my old Thinkpad. All works fine and I forget which free system I'm actually using sometimes. Some desktop differences from Linux: no graphical wifi manager that I'm aware of, there are various scripts floating about, or you just use ifconfig from a terminal as root. NTFS not writeable (can read fine). On the upside, sound just works as does suspend &c.
- phaer 11y agoThe biggest obstacle I found when I started to try OpenBSD on my Desktop recently was that it does not seem to share support for any disk encryption method and so I can't share an LUKS encrypted hard drive between Linux and OpenBSD. Thats not too bad. video, wifi, suspend etc all worked out of the box on my thinkpad t440p.
