       I'm going through the Three Little Bears, and OpenBSD seems Just Right.Running now on my old Thinkpad X13 with a USB wifi dongle. Install was easy, very clean and spare. Read each message carefully! Of course I did not.I had to disable UEFI boot. Took me two tries to figure that out.Its easiest to install fvwm with X11, comfortable to me, but wow it's pretty damn spare. But the first thing I usually do is install xfce thn delete literally every keyboard shortcut and replace with control-1 to select desktop 1, etc. and that's it. /etc is clean. /etc/rc.d has one text conf file per daemon/service. If I was running racks and racks of servers maybe I'd want systemd. But I'm not.

       @tomjennings Have got FreeBSD 14 on a Toshiba Portege Z30-C. Things mostly work: graphics, Ethernet, WiFi, USB, not Bluetooth. Comes up to a login: prompt on a 97x27 screen. xinit starts xorg and I have piewm as a window manager. My muscle memory wants a mouse to work piewm and has trouble with the trackpad and nubmouse. Sleeps on lid close! shutdown -r sends it into a tizzy for a bit and shutdown -p and power up from switch is usually faster.

       @tomjennings Not sure if e16 compiles and runs well on OpenBSD or not, but it is my favorite minimal WM.
