    If you support OpenBSD in spirit and love what they do, consider making a donation to help the developers out. Most devs work for free and every little bit helps :) https://www.ope…

    A quality product from a quality team. Thanks, OpenBSD project. It is reliable, secure, well-tested, and BSD licensed.

    Thanks to everyone for sharing their opinions, feedback, and help! I truly appreciate it and was not expecting my blog post to explode like it did. I am grateful for your kindness …

    Yeah, to be clear, OpenBSD seemed to have the best support for this particular laptop. If it had been another laptop, I'm not sure I would have done OpenBSD. I would have done the …

    I need to run Windows workstation and server VMs, too. (In the screenshot, I show Windows). Additionally, the Linux VM cons with vmd are off-putting, but I'll be getting them worki…

    To be clear, it is more than Linux virtual machines but also Windows. The VMs are for penetration testing labs and R&D. It isn't my job, it is my hobby. I can do my job with ssh te…

    That may be true, my bar may be low. I started with early BSD and Linux in 1996, and have been happy with minimal, cheap, and command line ever since. My experience or expectations…

    Oh cool! I didn't know you could flash a coreboot bios and I would love to have an upgraded display! Though mostly I run apps full screen so it isn't terribly important, it would j…

    There's more to it. It isn't a "Use OpenBSD, everything else sucks", it was simply "I used OpenBSD on a Thinkpad T420 and let me tell you about it". I also posted about that I trie…

    You're correct. My complaint was about installation time. I thought there was an instance where I saw all the access points somehow during the installer, but unsure how I did that.…

    That's OK, I was posting about my experience without intentions to change hearts and minds of others. I'm just a geek playing around, ya know.

    I do like the keyboard on this T420, it is a pleasure.

    Indeed, it was recommended by several people that I add that and noatime. That's active on my mount points.

    I wish I knew more about the specifics of the hardware differences. Thinkpads are new to me. I just discovered the Thinkpad subreddit several days ago, so accidental sub-community …

    You're right, my mistake in communication there. Speed is not a concern for me because it is fast for everything I use the laptop for. I didn't hit snags where things were slow. I'…

    Will check that one out. I only have a rough idea of what a red team is (abstract, some books, etc), but no practical experience with it.
