OpenBSD 6.5 is gonna be released any minute now, get ready Jow Forums.
And guess what!, among the many improvements, they know support the graphics card of my AMD APU!!!
I will finally be able to install it on my fan-less HTPC that currently runs shitnux. Yay for me.
more like OpenGAY
(the gay stands for homosexual)
This is okay, what about the release song though?
I've been looking into bsd but GNU+linux is comfy enough
New banner
This looks hippie af
Well, it's an OS with technology from the 70s
Also, more games
Yeah I'll dust up my GPU from 5 years ago to beta test how it's supported in OpenBSD, so hopefully it's stable enough in 2 years time
proper rpi support when
Currently planned for 2027
cute logo
It looks like it's already there.
Is it safe to download the install files or is it actually still a snapshot and not the final release?
Give me a quick rundown on the changes
openbsd doesn't do snapshots
Does OpenBSD have amdgpu yet? (not radeon)
>they know support the graphics card of my AMD APU!!!
yeah if you install proprietary blobs
Also enjoy your SSD dying because no trim
IT'S HERE
Can you feel it, Jow Forums?
As long as they cant run winshit software I doubt I will ever use BSD outside of networking
Theo loves you and wants your machine to be safe and secure

Literally delete this thread, if you're not using systemd based distros you are sexist drumftard! Pls be on the right side of history.
so does it still kill SSDs
What a pathetic attempt at false flagging, hang yourself
No, that just FUD
he's memeing retard, kys for taking that seriously
>i was only pretending to be retarded
Again, hang yourself
>posting in a BSD thread without pretending to be retarded
You might actually be retarded.
>Southern Islands and up
That means Southern Islands through Vega.
I'm surprised they specified which cards worked.
Usually the support is theoretical and they just go TRY IT AND LET US KNOW LOL in the documentation.
YYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSS
finally
Well it's not like they're going to waste money on buying every GPU their drivers should support.
Its almost like the BSD license discourages official support or something.
did they finally add wifi and bluetooth support? maybe this time around I will have >2hrs of battery life on my laptop too!
Oh well
>bluetooth
why would you need that? you don't need that, nobody does
Dude my laptop speakers suck.
What if I want to send the audio from my music client to my Bose bluetooth speaker?
City Girls sounds like shit on my X1
rSAP would be nice to have
Glorious blowfish provides again
anyone who developed anything around bluetooth understands why it's dropped
DUUDE
HEYYYY DUDE, WHATS UP DUUDDDEEE
The ROP mitigation with reduction of polymorphic gadgets for clang is nice improvement. I wonder why it's done on OpenBSD since it would benefit literally everyone using clang. Was author just an OpenBSD fanboy? Anyone saw some plans for accepting it into upstream?
>polymorphic gadgets
most of it is already known from -current branch

and if you missed last release - unveil(2) sandboxing and wifi autojoin. getting subtle changes this realase
Fits the spring season very well
Does it have SSD support yet? No one with a high IQ will use this on a SSD without trim.
>openrsync
Fuck yeah
trim happens at hardware level since 2015 Nibba
lol no it doesn't.
Trim depends on the filesystems support.
You're forgetting you can't claim to be the most secure operating system if you install binary blob drivers or the firmware isn't well documented, which is 90% of all drivers. That's why. The drivers go under code review. Despite this it supports probably the most CPU archs of any distro.
yeah no. SSDs have been automatically doing this for years and while i'm sure your asperbergs pushed you to make sure TRIM was enabled in Win10, it wasn't necessary because the hardware is the appropriate location to deal with this hardware issue. fwiw compression is all better at the block level.
would blender and krita... similar apps work on bsd?
It‘s art nouveau, brainlets.
Is it time to quit linux gaming for this?
>using UFS filesystem
>fucking 2019
INTO THE TRASH IT GOES
i remember when LZMA was found to be insecure by design.
It was 2016
Yes, Godot also works. Check the ports website.
I'll take an SSD without TRIM over an HDD any day. I'll most likely end up replacing the SSDs with better drives before the lack of TRIM comes even remotely close to killing them.
Can anyone explain to me the point of OpenBSD? Seems like an outdated wannabe version of linux. What are the pros or cons
It's like an outdated but better version of Linux, basically. You travel back in time a few years for a stable and secure system.
>linux gaming
>not just filtering him
Yes
This is just wrong
Will it support eMMC and 802.11ac or naw
> gaming in general
It supports some eMMCs, I don't know to what extent
The only thing TRIM accomplishes is dynamic overprovisioning allowing you the option to completely fill the drive to capacity if needed in a pinch, at the expensive of performance if you ever actually do that.
If you're never going to fill the drive completely anyway, you can just do hard overprovisioning and TRIM isn't even needed.
>go to their website
>The current release is OpenBSD 6.5, released May 1, 2019.
wut?
Art thou feeling it now, Mr. Krabs?
>2019
>support for hardware is a big thing
gee, I wonder why everyone keeps using windows
>replying to the board's biggest retard
Wear leveling is not TRIM, retard
