So, do you have a laptop to recommend where suspend/resume work well? Or should i just avoid openbsd if i want to use a laptop?
OpenBSD is very good at suspend/resume, particularly for non-bleeding edge laptops that developers have had a chance to use. I've had better luck with suspend/resume on OpenBSD than on Linux. I recommend Thinkpad X/T series laptops and have also had success with older Asus Eee PCs.
Great recs; i'll check out the thinkpad x!
