Why do you care about boot time? I boot my laptop maybe 6 times per year or so, probably even less. I wouldn't care if it took even longer...

- terminalcommand 10y agoI guess you're probably right, I usually boot up just once in the morning. The truth is, being a performance freak, I expected OpenBSD to fly on my current hardware. After much tweaking and struggle I couldn't get the DBus working, hence couldn't install GNOME. i3wm as my window manager and manual configuration of everything especially the wireless connection were too spartan for me. So I switched back to Debian 8 + KDE.
- qwertyuiop924 10y agoI use i3 regularly, but I don't use wifi much. Honestly though, using netbsd with wpa or wpa2 doesn't look too hard, and you can write a script to automate the worst of it. It's by no means the horror that is iw/iwconfig and wpa_supplicant (insert ritual chants of horror and disgust).
- heidar 10y agohmm does suspend not work for you? OpenBSD is quite laptop friendly, more so than the other BSDs I'd say. If you're booting every morning then I can understand it being a bit annoying. OpenBSD is probably the worst when it comes to overall performance of all the BSDs, and Linux.
- terminalcommand 10y agoDuring the day I suspend my laptop, but at night I power it off, out of habit I guess. And I have this superstition that if I leave my laptop plugged-in to any sort of cable at night, it might get hacked while I'm sleeping. I'll try suspending the next time I install OpenBSD.
