The little Acer doesn't (totally) love OpenBSD 7.9:
- fans are always spinning fast and it's hot. I could probably try to fix it, but I have no time at the moment
- it doesn't suspend - and it's critical, for me
I haven't tried other things, except that Mate works perfectly on X and I can use the touchpad. Volume controls work, the brightness controls work. A step ahead from 7.8, but still not perfect.
I'll probably reinstall Void Linux on ZFS.
