Their fork of Xorg (Xenocara) is in the base installation and out of the box the only thing you have to do to get an X desktop is answer &#34;yes&#34; to the question in installation asking if you want one, or if you answered &#34;no&#34; during installation you can (as root) &#34;rcctl enable xenodm&#34; and reboot. <br/><br/>OpenBSD is really good on the desktop because its developers run it as their workstations, i.e. they &#34;dogfood&#34; the OS so that they are able to see what is needed for all use cases and improve the OS accordingly. <br/><br/>If you&#39;d like to follow a guide to setting up an Xfce desktop on OpenBSD, I wrote one a while back: <a href="https://www.kaidenshi.com/posts/openbsd-as-a-daily-driver/">https://www.kaidenshi.com/posts/openbsd-as-a-daily-driver/</a><br/><br/>...and there are other guides out there as well. 2026-04-17T14:16:39Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqszf0m39gal4fywa3wz4d5qs7mmg0ru83c7nxrwk6ar2jjumews9wszyq2gyd7jnwxyd6l74fmw2j2vcm84kev8ese6xdwl3fus2vgfu8vl5lhuwgc OpenBSD is S-L-O-W. At least, compared to other modern operating systems. But you know what? That&#39;s ok! Sometimes we need to slow down. Sometimes we can take the extra couple of minutes that a FFS2 file transfer takes and just relax and reflect on the day. We don&#39;t always have to be in such a damned hurry. I&#39;m learning that I don&#39;t have to have the fastest, most powerful, energy-hungry computer to get shit done. I&#39;ll take security and correctness over face-melting speed.<br/><br/>Sure, I&#39;m getting older and slowing down just as nature dictates, but I&#39;m also learning to accept that as a good thing, not something to fear. It&#39;s okay to just go with the flow, and we will get there when we get there. <br/><br/>#OpenBSD #slowcomputing 2026-04-10T23:02:01Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsvnws4eawxuddhqw3ncnk9qkzxlfsu9vqwj6azf22lvugrxayrukczyq2gyd7jnwxyd6l74fmw2j2vcm84kev8ese6xdwl3fus2vgfu8vl5reluxu WTF LibreWolf?? I saw this just now, it wasn&#39;t there earlier today. Seriously, no one asked for this. I certainly didn&#39;t. This is skeevy at best. If I want a VPN I&#39;ll spin up my own, that I control and trust. This just feels like Mozilla&#39;s money-grab shit is infecting what was the only truly good web browser left. <br/><br/>#librewolf #enshittification<br/><br/> <img src="https://media.exquisite.social/exquisite/media_attachments/files/116/376/559/367/283/692/original/861e42040c7c0149.png"> 2026-04-09T20:11:18Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsvzs8gffr0rejdz6ml2e6uqnfkcjr6u6099wygj5f4dvu4lpsp8rszyq2gyd7jnwxyd6l74fmw2j2vcm84kev8ese6xdwl3fus2vgfu8vl5p7l3lx Since I wiped my main workstation/gaming PC the other day in a bout of frustration with, well, everything, I’ve been having fun OS-hopping. I have a fallback workstation that I can use for work purposes and to get me by while I’m noodling around in my main rig. My initial intention was to run OpenBSD for a few weeks to see the state of things on the desktop (I have a few devices running OpenBSD but all headless) but I ran into a weird USB storage bug. Just to see if it’s a hardware thing or an OS thing, I tried FreeBSD 15 and it was even worse.<br/><br/><a href="https://www.kaidenshi.com/posts/os-hopping-in-2026/">https://www.kaidenshi.com/posts/os-hopping-in-2026/</a><br/><br/>#OpenBSD #FreeBSD #elementaryos #Slackware #distrohopping 2026-02-26T01:49:11Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsqjskdcgwwk3gv8wlqtjhnygnd946rzczma4qutj8urkzly3e23zszyq2gyd7jnwxyd6l74fmw2j2vcm84kev8ese6xdwl3fus2vgfu8vl5gak79w In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsx79ucq0gs3gevh70gty9u2u9plcxa56l674c249apt0llrl04zwcpzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerfw36x7tnsw43z7dmp7wt'>nevent1q…p7wt</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/><span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/nprofile1qyt8wumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnyd968gmewwp6kytcqypm2sv9dmdreqw3uszfhwtx5kq7ex6hykjacpqgdggq9yjwgfdghu8ex4wz" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>Justine Smithies</span> (<span class="italic">nprofile…x4wz</span>)</a></span> Every year is the year of the BSD Desktop for me 😂 2025-12-10T13:53:05Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqszwz4qzy6s25esqqgjlafr8f0use6wnnaw2hy2g96s3az5dkxas3gzyq2gyd7jnwxyd6l74fmw2j2vcm84kev8ese6xdwl3fus2vgfu8vl5xlh5pp Well, fuck.
