   Yeah, after this was ported to OpenBSD by kn@ earlier this year. I just found the combination to be silly, booting OpenBSD on an Apple Silicon Mac to run a Win95 themed DE with the classic Windows 95 startup sound, it does require some twea

   Yes, OpenBSD/arm64 runs on M1/M2 machines.

   I used ICONs in school growing up in Ontario, Canada, they were so cool. It was a sad day when Windows PCs replaced them in the computer lab. All but a few of these computers were destroyed by the ministry of education. And without the LEXI

   Not that I'm aware of.. The product I tested was after 2017 is still advertised here in Canada with natural colours, made with fruit juices. The US parent company is also committing to it as well. https://www.wkkellogg.com&#

   I participated in some consumer testing when Kellogg's Canada was switching their breakfast cereals to natural colours. Beyond some muted colours, the cereal tasted exactly the same. Seemed like a no brainer, really.

    Longer than two years, for pre-COVID reasons mostly. Not coping too well.. It sure would be nice if one of those bitcoin millionaires came out of nowhere willing to sponsor me. I'd love to focus on open source, without worrying about m

    What's interesting is that the syscall-compatibility layers in the BSDs began with SunOS binary compat on NetBSD m68k/32-bit sparc-- which was created by Theo de Raadt. https://marc.info/?l=openbsd-tech&m=16143

    Not true, CPU frequency scaling (apmd, cpu.setperf/perfpolicy) is supported on many ARM machines, including the ThinkPad X13s, Apple M1/M2 Silicon, Raspberry Pi 4 (but may depend on whether using EDK2 or U-Boot firmware). Support

    NVMe hats work in OpenBSD, it's NVMe boot that doesn't work at present. It still needs support added to the U-Boot firmware, which OpenBSD uses here. Raspbian and other Linux distros are typically booted differently on this hardwa

    Yes, AFAIK it depends on the machine, on Intel at least there's debug output printed in the dmesg that should show if/how long it stays in different power states. I think there is still work ongoing to improve battery life.

    OpenBSD's had suspend-to-idle (S0i) aka "modern standby" since 7.6 (2024), at least on Intel. 7.8 will have better AMD support.
