#wayland on #OpenBSD seems to be pretty damn solid. I ported my #sway configure over after installing a handful of apps and it just damn works. Though I can not find a wayland native terminal emulator in the repos but just getting started here. I just need to compile #waybar and hope it works than I'm all set!


For my “why you should use bsd desktop” article (wip) I’d like to link to people’s technical reasons. I’ve already got a great one from @vermaden (the “quare one”) but I’d love to have also something from open, net and dragon.

Have you written something like this by any chance? The more detailed walkthrough the tech stack of flavor of your choosing and the more examples of your usage the better!

Ever have your laptop unhibernate in your bag? E.g: lid accidentally open, or hit the power button (e.g: side-mounted button), and drain your battery?

#OpenBSD -current has cool new bootloader feature, configurable in boot.conf(5), "machine idle [secs]", which will poweroff your machine when idling at the bootloader.

Note: This is only supported on EFI machines, and when using disk encryption.

kn@ modified src/sys/*: Add boot.conf(8) 'mach idle [secs]' to halt at idle passphrase prompts

Enable users to power down their machines if there was no input after N seconds during disk descryption.

Motivation is to save battery and prevent pocket heaters when notebooks unhibernate (e.g. lid accidentally opened) and sit at "Passphrase: ".

Only available on efi(4) systems as the timeout is saved as EFI variable; mostly because that's trivial to do, but also because we lack a better mechanism to configure that and persist such data without the root disk.

Discussed with many, starting at h2k23

After a great week for Linux, with the releases of Fedora 40 and today Ubuntu 24.04, I would be interested to know which operating system the Fediverse in my "bubble" uses? Linux? Windows? Or macOS or even a BSD? More than one?

Please write in the comments which distribution or version! Thanks for participating and SHARING!

Coming up: I will do a stream of how to update a port on #OpenBSD (likely beginner-level difficulty) tonight at UTC midnight (25-Apr, 00:00).

https://twitch.tv/thfrw

I'm estimating this will be less than 20 minutes long. Will upload it to YouTube afterwards.
