More monkeying around with OpenBSD. I spent a bunch of time getting LXQt working but the themeing was taking too much time so I threw more ram at the VM and installed KDE. The goal was to learn about OpenBSD, not LXQT. Ha.

Lots of the standard apps are there in OpenBSD but I need to find out how to get Librewolf and Waterfox going. Having done zero research, I'm assuming I need to compile from source.

I saw an article out using "Molly" as an alternate Signal Messenger client (xn--gckvb8fzb.com/if-you-must-use-signal-use-molly/). May try it in the future.

The KDE Plasma version is 6.4.5. IIRC KDE is stopping X11 support so I will need to figure out something else I guess. I've seen threads about Wayland on OpenBSD but didn't go down the rabbit hole yet. What little I read implied not ready for prime time.

The VM feels pretty snappy even though the QEMU agent doesn't really help with video options. This is using the VGA driver setup to get a decent resolution.

I really need to get this Jeep back on the road. I miss it.

      quickly tested with on :

      browsers are 2-3% faster than in

      trackpad and trackpoint are not working as expected

      whole setup a bit more complicated (starting from tty0, installing extra packages, extra line in fstab, etc)

      for this week at least i'm switching back to good old and :)

          A discussion that started with GNU/Linux vs Linux
          expanded into sudo vs doas, X11 vs Wayland, and how
          system design choices age over time.

          I already had notes on dwm, st, and X11 usage, and
          this thread was the motivation to turn them into a
          short, standalone document about the trade-offs
          around scope, ecosystem complexity, and sustainability.

            Right I'm not interested in starting a flame war but I am interested to see how many folk in 2026 use or and how many use or even . Feel free if you wish to say what OS/Distribution you use and which window manager or desktop environment below.

              :xorg: 🖱️ Você, usuário de longa data de ou outro com interface gráfica sobre ou seu suposto sucessor , utiliza o botão do meio do mouse para colar texto recém-selecionado? Essa é uma área de transferência secundária e independente, aliás.

              Acabo de lembrar que essa função existia até mesmo em terminal virtual de texto, quando suportasse mouse. Aliás, será que ainda é possível ativar o mouse nele? 💭

              Enfim, será que alguém, sinceramente, prefere ter exclusivamente o esquema mais trabalhoso de selecionar texto, Ctrl+C com teclado ou clicar com direito pra escolher a opção com o próprio apontador, depois posicionar o cursor de teclado onde quer colar pra finalmente pressionar Ctrl+V ou botão direito e escolher a opção de colar?

              Isso faz ou fazia muita falta quando obrigado a usar algo sem essa facilidade.

              Pergunto pois dizem que estaria considerando desativar essa função por padrão e penso se apenas eu acho a possibilidade absurda.

              Uso muito!:7

                👴💭 Coisa curiosa de pensar, puxando da memória, é que ainda estamos acostumados ao conceito de de Redmond de 1995 :wintrash:, quando fazia mais sentido usar o espaço vertical, em monitores menos largos. Se as telas já fossem largas nessa época, talvez tivessem bolado diferente aquilo, pelo menos a barra de tarefas com botão de menu principal que tinha sido a maior novidade, e não estranharíamos tanto essa mudança que fazemos a conta-gotas até hoje. Pessoas que talvez tenham usado o / / / atual :xorg: , ou diversos desde antes, quem sabe com algum gerenciador de janelas (ex. WindowMaker) que não tivesse barras exatamente como as de Redmond embaixo e nem no topo das janelas, talvez estranhe menos. Já era diferenciado, por exemplo, o desktop quando veio desde o início com barra principal no topo e embaixo... também faria menos sentido ainda se a tela já fosse larga.
