OpenBSD -current on my Dell Latitude 5480 is a complete success. Everything except Bluetooth is supported (and that is expected as Bluetooth itself isn't supported on OpenBSD). Battery life so far is much, much better than with Linux and Windows. I closed the lid without shutting down last night before bed, and 10 hours later it had lost only 2% battery in that state. In Linux it would drain about halfway, and in Windows about 10%. I've had it up and running for the past three hours and I'm at 72%, giving me a projected run time of nearly 12 hours. That's better than some MacBooks running macOS! It's certainly better than what the laptop is officially rated for under Windows. It's fast and responsive, pretty much on par with my HP mini PC with a similar 6th gen Intel CPU running OpenBSD. LibreWolf is measurably faster and more stable than Firefox, thanks to @libreleah and her LibreWolf port. My plan for my main workstation is to install OpenBSD to the NVMe SSD for maximum performance, and relegate Void Linux to the SATA SSD which will be good enough for the few Steam and "Windows only" games I play which work fine in Void, as well as NoMachine which I use to access my workplace when I get the inevitable night/weekend calls for support. #OpenBSD #librewolf
