The openbsd foundation raised around 5 million, half of which has been spent. Curiously they aren't as transparent as they once were. You mention nvidia support, others are hopeful for a better filesystem and wifi as well.

> The openbsd foundation raised around 5 million, half of which has been spent. Citation needed, they've raised nowhere near that amount. https://github.com/bob-beck/foundation-web/commit/483266ceceeb9137cc850069003949147744956a https://github.com/bob-beck/foundation-web/commit/483266cece... https://www.openbsdfoundation.org/campaign2024.html https://www.openbsdfoundation.org/campaign2024.html

  Not OP, but they've raised $4,974,668 since 2014 (done by adding up all the thermometers at https://github.com/bob-beck/foundation-web https://github.com/bob-beck/foundation-web), and I'm excluding anything prior. That's certainly what they meant ;)

> .. wifi as well. OpenBSD has supported 11ac for several years, and has the iwx(4) driver for modern Intel WiFi cards. There's also support for Broadcom FullMAC, bwfm(4), which is on e.g: Apple Silicon machines. HaikuOS also has a port of OpenBSD's iwm/iwx drivers. FreeBSD just recently announced they've started porting the OpenBSD iwx driver.. from Haiku. https://freebsdfoundation.org/blog/laptop-support-and-usability-project-update-first-monthly-report-community-initiatives/ https://freebsdfoundation.org/blog/laptop-support-and-usabil...
