@rl_dane@polymaths.social @synlogic4242@social.vivaldi.net I've recently put #OpenBSD on my daily with #XFCE and it is super smooth and fast. The only issue is the craptastic state of browsers and the web means that non-local computing constantly dumps itself. This is not an OpenBSD fault, this is the fault of the modern web. No wonder zero days can be exploited with ease.
Now I have to work out my least crap option OS to install so I can interact with the shitty web while remaining protected from whatever brain fart comes from the USA political class.

@tubsta@social.bsdlab.au @synlogic4242@social.vivaldi.net firefox on #OpenBSD has gotten a lot faster in very recent versions, somehow. I think Chromium (unfortunately) is worth trying to see if it works better for you. Otherwise, look for the config option online to disable JIT JS and WASM in firefox, and turn off W^X allow for more security. ;)
