Artur Manuel<p>I've been using OpenBSD on my main desktop for a while now. Honestly, I would probably say this is my favourite OS at the moment. There are a lot of points going for it which I appreciate about it, as well as some negatives which I'll address.</p><p>I really like how efficient OpenBSD is. On average, a Linux installation image is around 800 megabytes in size, the mini-memstick image for FreeBSD requires 500 megabytes in size, and OpenBSD with miniroot uses 5MB. Insane. Additionally, the full operating system with everything you could ever want installed is ~782MB, literally 781.568832MB. This number was summed using <a href="https://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/7.7/amd64/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/7.</span><span class="invisible">7/amd64/</span></a> and Python.</p><p>I do wish that Git was adopted in place of CVS for development though. FreeBSD moved to Git from SVN with pretty much no issues as far as I'm aware. You would also get the benefits of having branches, as well as the ability to commit changes without instantly pushing to origin, alongside the benefit of being able to author your own patches because of the two reasons above. There isn't really a reason to use CVS in the modern age is what I believe.</p><p>There are also many projects I want to work on that require some tooling which only works on Linux. My idea was to create an Alpine virtual machine using VMM and enabling OpenSSH with X11 forwarding but I have yet to see if that even works. Wish me luck. :P</p><p>I still love FreeBSD and would recommend it to anyone willing to start using *BSD operating systems, but as for now, I plan to main OpenBSD. I'll try and maintain my own ports for FreeBSD in the meantime using virtual machines as well but I don't guarantee it's success. Thanks for the fun, FreeBSD. :)</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/openbsd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>openbsd</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/software" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>software</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/computers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>computers</span></a></p>
