You first sentence actually supports my previous statement, that OpenBSD is aimed at developers. :)

Why would I "untighten" the hardening and not just use an OS which is more suited to my needs? Even for privacy, which is much more relevant for normal usage, there are better alternatives to OpenBSD.

Thanks for the clarification, but that's a very hardliner view on it.

You don’t really need to use a tiling window. You can still use a floating window manager and learn Linux stuff.On my Guix system, I had River setup with Waybar, Rofi and Rivertile, with other utilities like WirePlumber, brightnessctl, etc and I didnt really enjoy the experience. Sure, I could have spent some more time on improving that, but I thought that it was pointless having dotfiles next to my scheme config, so I went back to GNOME Shell.

Interesting point, so because Guix "forces" you to declare you OS you rather skipped on the option of having dotfiles? Not sure I can fully follow that train of thought. Esp. when it comes to GNOME being used instead. Can you shed more light on what made you switch?

Is the performance drawback from streaming in this encoding less noticeable?

Did you think I was referring to your post? Because otherwise I don't understand what you are aiming at.

eh "ok".

looks interesting

Also the hotkeys are terrible, I really really want to use it properly, but those shortcuts are horrid.

But I never do? :(

ELI5?

ports as in BSD?

I resent the fact that there’s no loot vacuum

Can you elaborate?
