When systemd-resolvd was first released it was the biggest mistake ever to write a new recursive resolver instead of using unbound or dnsmasq. Also since DNS ".. wasn't broken, so it did not need fixing".
I wonder if unwind will be received with the same hostility.

Does this mean that I can’t startx on a machine that I rarely use X on? Is a display manager now required for running X? From a security standpoint this makes sense, of course, but how are you supposed to deal with a half-desktop-half-server system?

Been running 6.5 snapshots in my travel laptop for some weeks and everything just works. The laptop is a ThinkPad X200 which is a bit slow for my needs, but upgrading it to ThinkPad X230 later this week should help. I really enjoy how simple the system is after all these years with Linux. I will always continue using Linux in my main computers, but for surfing, some hobby programming and as a travel OS OpenBSD defini…
Odd that you put this on a the travel laptop and not the desktop, I imagine most OS polygot its the inverse for things like battery life, touchpad drivers, webcam driver. Am curious why not make the switch on desktop? Same semantics? Same dotfiles? Do you use the same window manager across both linux and openbsd? Also what's the "much nicer" you refer to.. Please sell me
Also stuff like Signal, Spotify etc. I still haven't been able to get running on OpenBSD, maybe some day...
Nicer in a way that setting up the wifi, suspend et. al. just works. And is very easy.

Oh, I need Docker a lot. And our target platforms are Linux and OSX, so I just want to have some kind of standard OS on Desktop.

And also in general, I'm far less concerned about software released by a well-established security-minded team than I am about whatever Lennart wants to ship...

Thank you in advance.
