OpenBSD Workstation for the People blog article

I actually first saw mention of it in The Register. Nice to see it branching out a bit.

Like everyone else, I don't want it Ubuntu-cized, but still it's nice if people hear of it.

yep, i saw that blog a while ago ; even if it's hard to get responds from him xD

anyway, on my side, when it's for desktop-end-user usage, i just add firstly the isotop's one to get (almost) lot of things done for this type of use :
https://framagit.org/3hg/isotop

only thing is it's provides dwm as default DE, but it's easy to change ; a bit a DE by devs, for devs..

i thought :
https://www.openbsd.org/papers/bsdca...bsd-laptop.pdf

was the most known...

but the harder is still : how hard is it to manage the printer? to automatically mount usb drives? (and i dont even talk about GPU/wlan support xD)

the best lightweight DE (means not kde/gnome/xfce) for end-user purposes with old computer?

sometimes when i use openbsd in a fresh install, i feel wondering about apple/next's devs thinking about making this "almost" research project into a end-user-easy-to-use-system, from unix (computer/phone).
not that easy purpose..
