+--[ Finally, I switched over to OpenBSD
+
+
+I have been wanting to move my daily driver over to one of the BSDs for
+some time now, I have written in the past about my experience's with
+FreeBSD [0]. At the time, the limiting factor was the hardware I was
+running and the issues that caused. However, now that I have the mini-pc
+new hardware I thought this would a good week to try it out. One evening
+I took the plunge, backed up $HOME on my current Alpine Linux setup and
+installed OpenBSD. It was super simple, and I was up and running in
+a shell within 15 minutes.
+
+
+Everything seemed to work well at first, but I later discovered my sound
+wasn't working. A look over the man pages and OpenBSD FAQ, I soon
+figured out that I needed to change the default audio device to snd/1.
+Once that was done, I went ahead and installed X and all the other
+tooling I use.
+
+
+One of the big changes I made was the switch back to Xorg from Wayland,
+I really didn't want to mess about with getting that running in OpenBSD,
+and I am really not fussed about one over the other. I still had my old
+Makefiles for building the standard X suite I used for years, dwm, dmenu
+and st, it only needed a few tweaks to config.mk, and they all complied
+without issue [1]. I changed from the ASH shell to the default KSH
+shell, again, nothing really needed to change.
+
+
+I really like the package management, for Alpine Linux I had my own
+bootstrap script [2] to get me up and running. On OpenBSD I am nearly
+done right off the bat with just one command, a list of user packages
+really to install. On Linux I feel that this would be including a heap
+of system libraries and dependencies.
