> Fixed luna88k MULTIPROCESSOR kernels booting with CPU modules installed in arbitrary slots.<p>An OS release capable of running on the latest hardware in 2022 is still making optimizations for a niche system from the late 80s/early 90s. There's something very beautiful about that.
I wish there was more interest in getting acceptable WiFi and Bluetooth performance from any BSD. Even FreeBSD lacks anything but a half-baked 802.11n implementation :/<p>I truly adore BSD; using Linux is a chore comparatively. But I don't really have a choice.
Just finished upgrading. Thank you OpenBSD!<p>> Added support for Apple M2<p>> Added support for Lenovo ThinkPad x13s and other machines using the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8cx Gen 3 (SC8280XP) SoC.<p>Given the current status and trajectory of ARM64 in phones and tablets, in SBCs, laptops, and even some servers, coupled with the deeply-held global interest in reducing energy usage, every year I get more confident in the belief that AMD64 has peaked and ARM64 is the upcoming top platform. I'm not sure if I'll ever buy another x86 machine for myself.
Been very interested in OpenBSD for a while. Planning on installing it onto PCEngines' APU + antenna and using it as a router. Following this guide: <a href="https://openbsdrouterguide.net/" rel="nofollow">https://openbsdrouterguide.net/</a> .
The BSDs are awesome. I have been considering moving to BSD from Slackware Linux on my PC at home, but haven't yet pulled the trigger. Mostly, I cannot decide which to use among NetBSD, OpenBSD, or NetBSD.
OpenBSD is my happy place.<p>Install the OS, grab the src, subscribe to the lists and get to hacking!<p>The IRC and Matrix chats are great spots to get the low down, communities are helpful and documented.
>Direct Rendering Manager and graphics drivers<p>>Updated drm(4) to Linux 5.15.69<p>>inteldrm(4): support for Alder Lake, Raptor Lake<p>I have fond memory of booting OpenBSD the first time last year on an AMD RDNA GPU, after installation a simple "fw_update" got me a hardware accelerated graphic environment going. Very impressive in my book.
GL 2.1 support for my crappy Intel iGPU thanks to Gallium, instead of 1.4x. Good news. No modern gaming, but at least retrogaming and games like Trigger Rally will run fast. And, maybe, PSP emulation on an n270 Atom, but just as an experiment.
I like OpenBSD, but its very limited virtualization options means I cannot really use it full-time. Also the performance is not that great, but something I could live with.
