The End of Windows 10 is looming. The world needs a simpler, easy, quick, snackable alternative
The End of Windows 10 is looming. The world needs a simpler, easy, quick, snackable alternative
It is.
Could you elaborate a bit? Is it difficult to break, say compared to an immutable like Bazzite? Is it easy to install software? Does it include support for a variety of hardware OOTB?
Well, it won’t forbid you
rm -rf /. But generally, it is very reliable.Yes, and there is quite a huge selection available from the official repositories (and you can compile most software “missing” there yourself).
It depends on the hardware, but generally speaking, OpenBSD supports a nice amount of platforms and tries to keep “old” hardware alive as long as possible (for example, VAX support was dropped in 2016, which was quite some time after they were en vogue). What isn’t supported, however, is Bluetooth which was removed in OpenBSD 5.6 unless you use a dongle.
That’s already very inappropriate for non-technical users.
Also not appropriate. Bluetooth has been sold for decades now as an “it just works” solution to ad-hoc wireless peripherals like headphones and computer mice. Non-technical users need something that works OOTB with their existing devices.
There is no operating system in existence that provides every single software you could imagine as a precompiled package for your platform right out of the box.
You do have a point here. I, personally, don’t have a Bluetooth device at home, so YMMV, I guess.
