Have you tried it on a desktop yet? I’ve talked about my experiences a couple of times (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19280736), and I like it so much that it’s now the only OS on my primary desktop and laptop.



Man, I'd love to run a BSD, but I'm so spoiled by the convenience of the AUR and immediate access to the latest packages and any packages I could ever possibly want or need, that I don't think I'd last a week.


I did, in fact, but that was over 10 years ago, so I don't think my experience counts anymore!


I love OpenBSD, I used to run it as my primary computer. The only problem is that the performance is pretty terrible, and they are only just now getting rid of the global spinlock that kills SMP performance for a lot of workloads.
