It obviously depends on what you're using, but don't discount it without glancing at driver support: I've had it running quite nicely on a handful of laptops – typically older Thinkpads and Dells – and the "just work" factor of the overall OS is through the roof.
- enriquto 6y agoHave you noticed any problems with cpu throttling or hibernation? This is what I'm most afraid about switching to openbsd on my laptop (Dell precision).
- owenmarshall 6y agoJust works on my Thinkpad x220. You should, however, look for a dmesg output referencing your system and see if anyone has reported bugs. Power management is universally evil ;-)
