"Antoine Jacoutot has given a status update for GNOME users of OpenBSD, including a short video. The GNOME release has been updated to 3.10.2, and auto-mounting of devices is now supported through a new helper program, toad. Now is a great time for desktop users to test the upcoming OpenBSD release. The ports tree was recently locked for stability testing ahead of the 5.5 release, meaning that recent -CURRENT builds are very close to what will be released in May. Antoine also addresses the upcoming issues non-Linux systems face with GNOME, such as the upcoming hard dependency on systemd."

[ED Note: I ran an OpenBSD router box years ago when tinkering about with an old PII with four NICs seemed worthwhile. The OS lived up to it's rep, but it never occurred to me to use it for a desktop system. Are any Soylentils using OpenBSD for a GNOME-based workstation?]

    I have never used Gnome as my desktop. Always used KDE, and was happy with 3.5. After KDE 4.0 was released, Kubuntu's initial KDE releases (the non-LTS ones) were a complete disaster. I almost considered moving away from KDE, be it Gnome (shudder!) or XFCE. However, the next release fixed the issues, and I have been on KDE ever since.

    If KDE screws up again, I am moving to XFCE or LXDE or something lightweight.

    Yakuake on KDE pops up a terminal when you hit a certain hot key.
