OpenBSD 7.0 is here. A simple LxQt+Bspwm setup. Just a
snapshot/reminder of the new release
reddit / BSD

vnconfig is the tool for vnode pseudo disks

On FreeBSD the tool is mdconfig which it can load to ram .

On OpenBSD there is also the mount\_mfs

Those tools can be used to create an OpenBSD project i may build an
OpenBSD based project if there is enough interest it will have lxqt
with openbox for the more traditional users that wants stacking window
manager and it will have bspwm for tiling window manager enjoyers .

I have made a month ago a new experimental FreeBSD based project
called CultBSD codename:The Supreme with a nice cool Plasma desktop
and everything is made from the start it isn't similar or have
anything copied from projects like ghostbsd or nomadbsd.

It’s amazing how well sysupgrade and sysmerge worked this time. While
I don’t run an OpenBSD laptop right now, my server keeps giving me the
chilling knowledge that everything is just fine.

You said you’d start with OpenBSD CultBSD when 7.0 comes out. Go! ;-)

Great video as always man. Also I love your set up. Almost exactly
what I like on all of my machines

Its cool !

It could be even better if i used bspwm rounded corners compiled from
git

and picom compiled from git with dual\_kawase blur method (the
coolest)

I have only used kvantum from git compiled on openbsd

and of course obs-studio from openbsd-wip (work in progress)

PS1: I started very recently an experimental FreeBSD 13 based project
called CultBSD

If i got any positive reviews on sourceforge i will continue making
even better

Well I think it looks amazing as is. I’m not super into rounded
corners actually lol. Oh and I am very aware of your project CultBSD.
I am one of your subscribers on YouTube and watch nearly all your
videos. I am still wanting to try it out on one of my machines.
Hopefully later this week I can give it a shot! :-)

I had some random freezes/crashes with openbsd on my pc and got
disappointed

I suspect that something has to do with picom vsync or picom glx and
drm

I had no problems with mate maybe i need to disable some vsync and glx
and transparency and move to mate and gtk apps just to be sure.

We will see ....

You should report those.

I have made an experiment but i'm not satisfied it doesn't have the
wow factor it just use openbsd's installer to install a ready made
desktop.

But the live usb is nothing more than a classic openbsd installation.

Then i was experimenting with some more advanced ways to make a really
live openbsd live image and it seems nothing is impossible and did
some tests !

Then i was let down cause i'm not sure if any openbsd user would find
it usable they don't endorse an openbsd based projects at least here
on reddit... the opposite.

Just want to change my hardware and devote to openbsd and netbsd if
you wanna know. I'm that crazy !

NetBSD is interesting. I admit that I never managed to set up a
working NetBSD installation that provided a stable experience.
