I use OpenBSD as my daily driver and develop software in Go. I use DWM + tmux + nvi + git.
Pros:
- no-bullshit OS
- very clean, you know what is where and why
- distraction-free
- proactive security approach
Cons:
- slow if you use heavy software like Chrome
Potential deal breakers you should know about:
- web assembly is turned off by default for security reasons (login to Hetzner or Sinology, using Google Docs is a problem)
- watching videos in the browser does not feel great
I conclude that it is great for (my) work and encourages you to be minimalistic.
- jszymborski 2y agoWhy does Hetzner login require WebAssembly???
- bilinguliar 2y agoI can not tell for sure, but one of the “are you a robot” checks fails with the default OpenBSD Chrome settings.
