Thanks! My experience so far has been excellent. I have noticed that web browsers and the video player are noticeably more performant on this setup than on my main machine, which is eight years newer and runs OpenBSD. However, SuperTux2 is unplayably slow, and the OS would benefit from some security improvements (e.g. a login window, filesystem encryption, implementing pledge(2) and unveil(2) or equivalents, etc.) -- but considering it's still in beta, it's quite excellent!

    Yeah, I noticed that HaikuOS has been pretty usable, save for the issues you and others have mentioned about it! Given that building a whole ass OS is difficult, I understand that they are doing their best! Hmm, I keep hearing people talking about OpenBSD or NetBSD, one day I might actually try a BSD. But they need a lot of shoring up. Driver wise, and my hardware doesn't fit into the instantly compatible with a BSD category. So I would expect...Issues. Of course there is also the LLM issue, that the FreeBSD peeps have opened the door to LLM technofascists. It remains to be seen what will become of that situation.
