After Jessie, I moved over to OpenBSD and have no regrets whatsoever. Much more prefer the Unix-like style, never really took to systemD.to go to BSD land

Re: What does your non-Debian desktop look like?
I can't say anything specific about this system, because I haven't tried it and I think on my hardware it won't work in the near future because it doesn't support my graphics card (Nvidia). But I have read a lot about OpenBSD. Many praise it.ruffwoof wrote:After Jessie, I moved over to OpenBSD and have no regrets whatsoever.

Re: What does your non-Debian desktop look like?
I removed my nvidia card to revert to onboard Radeon/ATI. Happy to forward time just avoid nvidia (only purchase hardware that works with OpenBSD). Inclined to avoid Intel as well.None1975 wrote:I can't say anything specific about this system, because I haven't tried it and I think on my hardware it won't work in the near future because it doesn't support my graphics card (Nvidia).

In keeping with this thread ... OpenBSD, cwm, audacious ....

Why stop with Intel? The entire x86 architecture is garbage, IMOruffwoof wrote:Inclined to avoid Intel as well

Re: What does your non-Debian desktop look like?
I'm loving OpenIndiana, zfs is awesome and the boot environments seem magical compared to the crude hacks I engineered with btrfs on Linux.
The only problems are that the touchpad on my X201 is recognised as a mouse (so I can't use edge scrolling) and FF is old (ESRv52.9) but otherwise it's very polished and runs well on my hardware.
They even have an NVIDIA blob
EDIT: that's prstat(1M) in the foremost terminal: a very useful process monitor:

Tried the LiveDVD, very sluggish, didn't pick up my network hardware, initial default root password was opaque.

Strange that your experience wasn't positive, I think their drivers come from OpenBSD and that runs well on your box
I do get a thrill out of seeing the SunOS message at start up and all the Solaris specific command line tools are just gorgeous, I love it.
Back on topic with my dwm desktop everybody's sick of by now:
EDIT: check the graphical corruption in the panel, not sure why that happens sometimes, very strange.

As I am contemplating moving to either FreeBSD or Devuan completely. FreeBSD reminds of Woody or Sarge.

Enjoying EasyOS 1.0 (similar, but different, to Puppy Linux).
Runs from a squashed filesystem (sfs), with a folder as the save area layered on top of that. Includes tools to make sfs copies of that save area, so you can use those to quickly/easily roll backwards/forwards to any desired snapshot.
Includes 'containers' (Xephyr and pflask (chroot, capabilities dropped etc.). So even though it still runs as 'root' (as per Puppy's), the root inside a container is heavily restricted - as good as a restricted userid. But totally avoids having to enter passwords (that otherwise could be eavesdropped).
Loads of things included in the core system, LibreOffice, Scribus, Gimp ...etc. (and lots of useful small utilities). All within a 400MB sfs (I remember the days when getting even just a libreoffice sfs to be much under that was a achievement).

Re: What does your non-Debian desktop look like?
OpenBSD -current running the new dwm version (6.2, with attachaside and this patch for the status bar), slstatus is showing the load average over the last minute, the battery charge level and the date & time:
The xterm on the left has vim open showing config.h for dwm, the two on the right are running top(1) & systat(1) (with the incomprehensible[1] "buckets" view).
