Wich one should i use on my gay laptop?
i only use it at school for programming, and eventually watching movies.
>inb4 Linux
I use GNU+Linux on my desktop at home, i just wanted to try out *BSD, since i`ve never had the chance before (aka i was too lazy to do it).
Pic related is OC btw, feel free to masturbate
wtf do you want to do with your gay laptop? Freebsd have better performance, but still not a desktop os. I used both.
>i only use it at school for programming, and eventually watching movies
If you don't use ntfs drivers or don't transfer large files via usb it doesn't matter. On BSD i used mplayer and deadbeef only for media. Use youtube-dl too, because the browsers will not play videos properly.
FreeBSD is slightly less dead than OpenBSD.
I have an openbsd lappy
Freebsd is easier to follow -current
>openbsd on a laptop
does it even support anything made after 2005?
OpenBSD
It supported my 2009 laptop better than Windows or Linux
Werks on my machine :^)

shiggy-diggy
I never said it supports everything better, I said it supported my laptop better.
FreeBSD is often the platform of choice for cutting edge research in operating systems and security(see CHERI), however, OpenBSD has a cleaner base, more sane defaults and affordable security, as opposed to having to be a top systems researcher in order to see what FreeBSD has to offer in terms of security and what's being developed on it. It's really up to you, I suggest you give both a go and see what you like more, the incredibly complicated, but featureful technologies in FreeBSD, or the simplicity, but often lacking features, as seen in OpenBSD.

If you need video drivers, FreeBSD. Otherwise, OpenBSD is completely better.

Does OpenBSD have some video drivers FreeBSD doesn't have?
Use Minix 3 micro kernel with NetBSD.
There seems to be a lot of that in these threads. My message to the world is just to shut your dumb tooters and try things before you go recommending them. בסעש ₪ ףשמכש

Get in the oven, Shmuley.
If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
You're trolling. I use both OpenBSD and FreeBSD, and I use FreeBSD solely because it has video drivers. OpenBSD for anything, FreeBSD for games.
Name three games that are supported on FreeBSD that will not play for lack of driver availability on OpenBSD.
neither, put arch on it

You can play games on OpenBSD, but with VESA resolution.
2012 bait, time to get original user
>not writing your own drivers
Not that I know of, the point of my response is that not everything is better in OpenBSD, they have different goals. FreeBSD is easily more featureful, even moreso than Linux in many OS related things. OTOH, OpenBSD wants a mininal base with sane defaults, so saying OpenBSD is better in everything else is just FUD.
