Depends on what the devs felt like porting over and the license.
Lincoln Taylor
Don't use bsd for main rig
Hunter Evans
i mean, can you use an .so file meant for linux in openbsd? (if both are x64 architecture)
Joshua Hernandez
nope
John Wood
Don't give poor advice
Luis Barnes
Nvidia has FreeBSD drivers. I don't know if they'll work with OpenBSD though.
Brody Davis
They won't. If your only GPU is Nvidia and you use OpenBSD you're stuck with the software rasterizer. OpenBSD has zero Nvidia support.
Jack Cox
BSD is fine. FreeBSD and DragnflyBSD especialy. OpenBSD is designed to be as secure and as stable as possible, while that's nice it lacks some desktop features so I don't recommend it.
John Phillips
OpenBSD's the best BSD for desktop use
Jason Rivera
OpenBSD doesn't do proprietary binary blobs, so Nvidia fanbois are shit outta luck.
Michael Diaz
year 2000 + 16
people still using bsd
Hudson Kelly
it runs pretty well on Skylake laptops
Ryan Rodriguez

Holy shit what a surprise!

That's only the Xorg driver.
Yes, it's confusing.
Ethan Diaz
No it is not. Freebsd is.
Isaiah Robinson
op here
what about the Linux compatibility layer
openbsd.com
does it work with drivers?
Dylan Robinson
>supports nothing newer than the GTX200
I wish I never bought the 970
I'm living the no-driver lyfe and it sucks.
Anthony Brown
Things slow down in the Apple™ mailroom, the lackies get put on Sup Forums shill duty.
Jonathan Ramirez
nope, and besides, they removed the compat layer in OpenBSD
Adam Richardson
>imblyng Apple would want people to use OpenBSD instead of Apple (tm) Mac (tm) OS X (tm)

>Emblibing apple has never assraped the permissive bsd license.
Developers developers developers.
Sebastian Reed
How do you rape a licence?
Juan Robinson
No it is not. OpenBSD is.
Lucas Harris
shit
Justin Jenkins
Does any BSD system support drivers? I won't consider the switch if 50% of my hardware won't work on it.
Jace Martin
BSD has good support for server hardware. Everything else is unlikely to have a driver.
Levi Jackson
someone needs to port nouveau stat
Gavin James
i think they don't like it because it's not official or something
it's too hack-y for them
Aiden Hall
I'm delegating this task to you.
Now, hurry along now, lots of work to do!
Xavier Phillips
not true. their laptop and pc support is also good.
Juan Watson
I'm reading OpenBSD manual pages right now, and I was interested to see resolver.conf explanations mention desktops and notebooks.
Noah Cooper
The real question is do uber drivers work in lyft?
Cameron Parker
No, it's FreeBSD.
Nicholas Collins
No, it's OpenBSD.
Alexander Foster
PC-BSD :-DDD spurdo
