- toyg 6y agoI think bluetooth might work with a few specific adapters, pretty sure there was a comment saying as much in the “Carmack helping OpenBSD” thread yesterday. So I guess that, if you’re willing to sacrifice a USB port or two, it could work. My reservations are more about sleep (even Linux still struggles with that) and power management (ditto). If my daily driver were a tower desktop, I’d probably use OpenBSD.
- pimeys 6y agoI've been using OpenBSD in my X230 for over a year now and everything works out of the box. Sleep never fails, power management needs one extra daemon up, integrated WWAN module just works with ifconfig... I have a desktop computer with Linux just because there is certain software I need for my work. But hardware support with OpenBSD and ThinkPads will for sure be a smoother experience compared to many Linux distros.
- nix23 6y agoBluetooth will not work with OpenBSD because they trow the complete stack out of the operation-system (too buggy, too insecure)
