5 --[ Finally, I switched over to OpenBSD |
|
6 |
|
7 |
|
8 I have been wanting to move my daily driver over to one of the BSDs for |
|
9 some time now, I have written in the past about my experience's with |
|
10 FreeBSD [0]. At the time, the limiting factor was the hardware I was |
|
11 running and the issues that caused. However, now that I have the mini-pc |
|
12 new hardware I thought this would a good week to try it out. One evening |
|
13 I took the plunge, backed up $HOME on my current Alpine Linux setup and |
|
14 installed OpenBSD. It was super simple, and I was up and running in |
|
15 a shell within 15 minutes. |
|
16 |
|
17 |
|
18 Everything seemed to work well at first, but I later discovered my sound |
|
19 wasn't working. A look over the man pages and OpenBSD FAQ, I soon |
|
20 figured out that I needed to change the default audio device to snd/1. |
|
21 Once that was done, I went ahead and installed X and all the other |
|
22 tooling I use. |
|
23 |
|
24 |
|
25 One of the big changes I made was the switch back to Xorg from Wayland, |
|
26 I really didn't want to mess about with getting that running in OpenBSD, |
|
27 and I am really not fussed about one over the other. I still had my old |
|
28 Makefiles for building the standard X suite I used for years, dwm, dmenu |
|
29 and st, it only needed a few tweaks to config.mk, and they all complied |
|
30 without issue [1]. I changed from the ASH shell to the default KSH |
|
31 shell, again, nothing really needed to change. |
|
32 |
|
33 |
|
34 I really like the package management, for Alpine Linux I had my own |
|
35 bootstrap script [2] to get me up and running. On OpenBSD I am nearly |
|
36 done right off the bat with just one command, a list of user packages |
|
37 ready to install. On Linux I feel that this would be including a heap |
|
38 of system libraries and dependencies. |
