Peter N. M. Hansteen walks through use of OpenBSD on a modern laptop in his latest blog post. While OpenBSD has a good reputation for servers and routers, many do not realize how well it works on laptops with supported hardware. He's been running it as the only OS on his laptops for well over a decade at this point and shares his experience with recent hardware. OpenBSD is clean, organized, and predictable. It does what you configure it to do, and only that, with no backtalk or second-guessing — like from other systems. Its documentation is second to none.

    Actually there might be some advantages to deter "idiots" from joining a project. It will at least catch some SJW in the bud.

    Though things like "do you want to enable GPM in the console" might be quite non-obvious.

    I actually encourage SJWs to make suggestions to Theo (tee hee hee).

      Joke's on you. Some of the younger OpenBSD devs ARE SJWs... Peter Hessler and Reyk Flöter for example.
