You Have Installed OpenBSD. Now For The Daily Tasks.

Despite some persistent rumors, installing OpenBSD is both quick and easy on most not too exotic hardware. But once the thing is installed, what is daily life with the most secure free operating system like?

#SchleswigHolstein goes #OpenSource

Softwaremonopole sind teuer und stehen dem #Datenschutz im Weg. Deshalb setzt die Verwaltung in Schleswig-Holstein zukünftig auf #OpenSourceSoftware. Seit kurzem können wir im Gericht #LibreOffice nutzen, Ende des Jahres wird es Pflicht. Der Umstieg fiel uns leicht, da wir es auch zu Hause nutzen.

Und ihr? Habt ihr schon gewechselt?

I reiterate, now that #openbsd -current is 7.7-beta (https://www.undeadly.org/cgi?action=article;sid=20250302115123) it's a fine time to fetch a snapshot and test all the nice improvements. #openbsd #current #upcomingrelease #77beta #development #testing #freesoftware #libresoftware
