I recently dived in and started using BSD (this is also my intro post, hi everyone!).

Programs:

  • Kakoune
  • Foot
  • pfetch
  • Stitch (my own note-taking app)
  • waybar

UnixAwesome i think your screenshot link is broken

Edit: problem was on my side. My DNS bloker blocks imgur links by default 😅

    Switched to Mate desktop. For some reason i believe that Mate works better in bsd's compared to xfce. OK i know mate can't be as complete as in linux but 293 is pretty good. Better than net and freebsd for sure, not to mention illumos based things like openindiana. Everything works i had some freezing points when trying to take screenshots via the gui way but that's ok since no ones going to take screenshots daily. I still haven't got root acces to work on gui (any help is welcomed) and i have to improve some vital aspects of the os. Other than that everythings is secure, light and usable.

    Moved over to NetBSD on my Thinkpad T480S.

    Almost everything worked out of the box, only my elantech trackpad is unsupported and falls back to regular PS/2 emulation. I'm awaiting a trackpad which uses synaptics so hoping that will work better 🙂

    I compiled a custom kernel to change the green text to white background and black foreground. Looks great.

    Applications: xclock, xterm (pfetch, scrot, mandocs, vim with quiet theme and different background).

      oui I like your taste 👍️

          rvp You got me on that one on my knees 😂 😭

            mccd I compiled a custom kernel to change the green text to white background and black foreground.

            Why is there no runtime setting for this?

            • mccd replied to this.

                szilard Well there are settings you can change but they will not apply all the way through the boot process, so it looks inconsistent.

                  First monitor and notebook from left to right is a FBSD14.1 machine with a 1920x1080 external monitor. The monitor in the middle it is also a 1920x1080 and it is connected to the huge black box on the right with Void Linux. The T430 it is running OBSD7.5 and it is connected to the last monitor. All tree connected via barrier. (The grey notebook in the middle it is my work tool, from my company, it is not mine). All running XFCE.

                  Dell Latitude 5400:

                  Void Linux:

                  OpenBSD:

                  My Latitude and my desktop are in sync using Syncthing.

                  And my Homelab:

                  My homelab it is a old Optiplex9020 with a i5 4gen, 32gb ram, 2tb of memory and it is connected to a old 1920x1080 screen.
                  It is serving as a nfs server, a backup server and in the future as a virtualization server. It is currently running FBSD14.1.

                  Curiosity: I called this setup "Hydra", since everything is configured to work as a single system with a bunch of heads. Also, I named every ship of my fleet as BattleStar-something ;-).

                  See you in the CyberSpace!
