Just do FreeBSD and install desktop-installer and run it. GhostBSD is just FreeBSD with MATE preinstalled and changes things that nobody but that niche community can help you with.
I bought a CAD 115 Thinkpad T510 last week to install OpenBSD on. As a hobby OS, it’s a blast, and I can see why anyone should use it on the edge of their network infrastructure and in hostile environments.
I went full-schizoid and installed Libreboot, systemwide request proxying, and I’m messing with Qutebrowser to make it as hardened as HFF. I then installed the usual Suckless software to get a true mouse-less system.
Overall it’s a very secure system, and a fun thing to tinker with.
Do you intent to try anything in particular?
Nonsensical post like these convince me IQfy is overrun by bots.
It's actually a pretty boring OS. It's fairly limited when compared to loonix, but it's also relatively simple, just works as intented and has great documentation. There's nothing too exciting about using it if you have already used Linux
I believe it is Intel. Haven't used that laptop for years. Guess I'll see. Can't wait to try it out. If everything works, I will use OpenBSD exclusively for the next week, see if it's usable as a daily driver for me. I already checked the OpenBSD ports and about every software I use is in there and actively maintained, so that's nice.
unix. but not like, true unix, like commercial 80s or 90s unix. more like, derived-from-scholarly unix that has been since forked and code-corrected time and time again. as a result, expect a performance hit. also, apparently, you are in for a lot of giant lock.
Go with GhostBSD
Checked but why ghostbsd?
Its actually usable BSD
ghostbsd just freebsd with mate
Yes

A simple and secure operating system
Simple and elegant response anon
Why is it safer than Linux?
And why OpenBSD as opposed to FreeBSD, or any other X BSD ?
Only two remote holes in the default install, in a heck of a long time!
Oh look it's another shill thread

can i: get it to work on a Thinkpad t430 (wifi not necessary but would be cool) and run firefox/torBB?
because relatively that's all i need
As long as its intel WiFi then that should work fine.
Firefox in in the repos, unsure about Tor though
barely differs from your typical linux distro in any way that's noticeable

FreeBSD is the troony BSD brainlet

Forget all this distro hopping. Use Debian and get a job.
Debian is too mainstream.
Because it works well and has excellent documentation. Why would you want to suffer?
OpenBSD has better documentation, if not the best, out of any OS that is available.
Debian is the last good distro tbh but when it falls too then OpenBSD is probably the only other option
Go outside instead. It's summer.
Why not NetBSD or OpenIndiana?
If you want to be a Unix hipster...
Lack of software and drivers. At least use FreeBSD/GhostBSD (preconfigured FBSD), as it runs most Linux software if you install libraries.

Doing the same. I'm going to install it on my Dell Inspiron N5050. I just hope the hardware is supported.
If you have Intel wifi it should be ok

Hope it works out, if you like a minimal os then you can't beat it
BSD? Is that like 50 Shades of Gray?
installed it again after getting mad at linux it's pretty comfy

Either you'll come back or you'll become an evangelist.
Be sane and don't shill this garbage to me.
