[OpenBox] First time running FreeBSD (thinkpad r61 btw)
(thelemmy.club)
- HOST: Thinkpad r61 (regional TV was going to trash them, i got 3)
- OS: FreeBSD 14.3 first time, loving it so far
- SHELL: ZSH
- WM: OpenBox (Natura Theme)
- TASKBAR: Tint2 (customized one of the default themes)
- FONT: Hermit (UI and mono)
- EDITOR: Helix <3
- DOC_READER: Zathura
- BROWSER: Firefox | Netsurf-Gtk
EDIT
it's been a long time since i've used X11 (haven't tried wayland on such old hardware), decided to go classic, OpenBox was the first WM i used!!
I still find an excuse to actually use it now.
Because it's a 1gb ram tiny vps instance, because it's a raspberry pi, because it's a 128Gb 16 amd cores but all ressources must go to business ...
I think you'll be surprised with wayland's results. I've used it in 32 bit machines older than that and had both great and terrible experiences, so it depends on hardware. Thinkpads I imagine all are well supported
EDIT: actually, I just remembered I used to have Sway on FreeBSD on a Thinkpad X61, and it worked great
oh that's good to hear, i might give wayland a try, hell i can also test on a 32 bit machine that i installed OpenBSD to (haven't really used it since)
do you happen to remember which CPU you were running? how was the performance, these R61s are kinda maxed out (regional government really likes to flaunt it's money sometimes)
i wonder if niri would work on these, my arm64 chromebook flies with niri!
