Justine SmithiesOk so I've got <a href="https://snac.smithies.me.uk?t=openbsd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OpenBSD</a> running and installed <a href="https://snac.smithies.me.uk?t=herbstluftwm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Herbstluftwm</a> plus <a href="https://snac.smithies.me.uk?t=qutebrowser" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Qutebrowser</a> and I even have sound. Not bad at all for a first go on this Dell Optiplex 3080 Tower I5 with UHD630 and 32Gb ram plus a 1Tb NVME. It does seems strange being back in the world of Xorg though.<br>
Justine SmithiesWell that's <a href="https://snac.smithies.me.uk?t=netbsd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NetBSD</a> successfully installed on this Dell Optiplex 3080 tower. Now to read the docs and explore before installing <a href="https://snac.smithies.me.uk?t=herbstluftwm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#herbstluftwm</a><br><a href="https://snac.smithies.me.uk?t=runbsd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RunBSD</a><br>
Justine SmithiesIf I did give <a href="https://snac.smithies.me.uk?t=openbsd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OpenBSD</a> a shot and obviously went with the flow using an X based WM then I do like the look of <a href="https://snac.smithies.me.uk?t=herbstluftwm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HerbstluftWM</a> as it seems very scriptable too. 🤔<br>
Justine SmithiesWhy am I reading from the <a href="https://snac.smithies.me.uk?t=herbstluftwm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Herbstluftwm</a> website ? I really like my <a href="https://snac.smithies.me.uk?t=wayland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Wayland</a> setup with <a href="https://snac.smithies.me.uk?t=riverwm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RiverWM</a> and why would I even want to use <a href="https://snac.smithies.me.uk?t=x11" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#X11</a> again ??<br>
