I wonder what's the current state of desktop on OpenBSD
- vidoc 6y agoThe ps/2 mouse driver is now extremely stable!
- nix23 6y agoRight, but it's unusable on Linux...like systemd and pulseaudio :)
- IntelMiner 6y agoI've used both on every machine I've owned since 2013. Both desktop, laptop and server without complaint What issues have you had with them?
- nix23 6y agoIt was ironic...but with pulseaudio i had LOTS of problems. BTW: Why Pulseaudio on a Server?
- IntelMiner 6y agoNetwork audio for piping music around the house with Ras Pi's
- nix23 6y agoAh..good point. And yes i know it's not a big problem today but that thing needed lots of years to mature.
- scns 6y agoMan i had to laugh so hard. Thank you.
- mrweasel 6y agoThat depends on what you do to be honest. Web, email, programming, spreedsheets, wordprocessing have been fine for over a decade. Heavy 3D stuff, not my first, second or third choice.
- kelp 6y agoGnome and KDE are in the ports tree and kept very up to date. Everything there basically works. Most supported hardware just works out of the box with very little tinkering. Of course there is less hardware supported than Linux and support can lag a bit, since there are few people writing drivers. But modern Thinkpads work quite well. All that said, I have found Gnome to feel a little slow on OpenBSD compared to running on on the same hardware on Linux. So on OpenBSD I mostly use dwm, which feels super fast. Generally most everything you want can be found in the ports tree.
