I'm running OpenBSD on it with an amdgpu WX2100 card, works nicely.

OpenBSD obviously doesn't have NVIDIA support, but amdgpu(4) works pretty well. I'd also prefer to use AMD's own GPU, not only because I can't use NVIDIA, but also because I don't …

First of all the feature wasn't available in the initial Big Sur release and it only got available during the Betas for the first minor patch. Second of all, some Apple developer s…

No, it‘s a completely new implementation. The whole backend and frontend is written from the ground up.

Which patches from Bitrig are you exactly talking about?

Bitrig does not have support for ZFS. Must be something different from Bitrig the poster is talking about.

The difference is that the rPi blobs actually run on the GPU, the CPU is unharmed. Still, both have access to the same memory. But that's a similar issue on the PC.

I'm sorry, but that is wrong. The main blobs are being run on the GPU, as bootloaders, even before the actual operating system is loaded. OpenBSD does not need to run _any_ blob it…

I did read them. Now and a few months back. Janne raises concerns about running a blob on the CPU (which does not happen), while Stuart explains the boot stages correctly in detail…

OpenBSD does not run on the rPi because there are only a handful developers taking care of the arm subtree, and none of them have time for it or are simply not interested. Heck, th…

That is true. OpenBSD/Theo refuses to take part in embargos, which means they don't get a heads up. Don't have a citation right now, but Theo said that publicly when Hardbleed or s…

The funny thing is that even though they have OpenCVS in their source tree, they do not use it. It never took off and probably had too many bugs and issues. Instead they are and ha…

For me personally, better armv7 support. Even though many things stem from our hands, NetBSD and FreeBSD are a great resource. I have already started working on SMP support, based …

Bitrig developer here, feel free to shoot questions!

They wrote their own. A completely new implementation.

OpenBSD did not want to be on the list of distros to be notified[0]. It's no conspiracy due to LibreSSL, but maybe rather Theo's ignorance. [0] http://marc.info/?l=oss-security&m=1…

Bitrig is working on support though. The devs have a few Exynos based devices, including that particular one.

Have a look at i.MX6 based machines. Namely CuBox-i, HummingBoard, SABRE Lite and Wandboard. The Utilite is fine, too.

They don't care about that. Their main interest is to have a library conforming to OpenBSD standards.

> A9 core rather than the virtualization-ready A15? (I'd rather have a 64-bit ARM but those are still a ways out) There aren't really many choices. Samsung has A15 cores, but it's …

I have been waiting for some time for the crowdfunding campaign. The FreeScale i.MX6 platform is very versatile. Up to quad core 1.2GHz, SATA, PCIe, Gigabit Ethernet (limited to 48…
