 Hello there now if you put up videos on the internet for whatever reason people want you to do Stupid minutia videos about things you do in your life that are sort of relevant. So that's what I'm gonna do here Okay, this is not my kind of video. People just want it. I installed open BSD See that computer it now has open BS actually look at that little this little stool I've had since I was a kid. We used to stand on that to brush our teeth That's how long it's been in my family, but Open BSD I've installed on on this desktop that I've had actually forever I've had it for a while and I haven't been you know, I don't really use it I really just have the think pad that I use for everything. I have a nice little dock for it But anyway, so open BSD, why did I install it? What am I looking for with open BSD now? Firstly, I'll go ahead and say don't expect open BSD videos from me. I'm just saying maybe I will do some Actually, I canceled internet at my house So it's a little unlikely that I'll do anything really fancy with this Maybe I'll just toy around with it, but the reason I installed open BSD is Partially experimentation Really, I've I've been using Linux for a while now and of course using open BSD is not supposed to be that different Just the operating system does some core things better It also, I mean the other thing is realistically speaking Linux Like I always do videos complaining about the direction of where Linux is going and how different distributions are screwing things up Now that doesn't really matter for someone like me because in Linux because I mean you always have the ability to install what you want On your machine, right? So it's not a big deal. However, open BSD open the BSD people Realistically speaking, they're usually just better minded than a lot of the Linux people are nowadays So I figure it's at least worth knowing about open BSD now before you you tried to oh try for your free BSD net BSD No, I'm not gonna do that. I've decided open BSD for different reasons So I have this thing pulled actually let me let's verify. Let's verify that it's open BSD I actually typed in The you name command. All right, look at that open BSD desktop home 6.9. It's backwards for me. I don't know if that's showing up as backwards for you But you know, that's that's how it is so I'll probably play around with it The only thing I've done now is basically install. I should sit in this chair like a normal human instead of sitting on the floor like a neat So all I've basically done is install a couple programs and play around with it And find all the commands that I know and love on Linux a lot of them are not actually on open BSD So one thing I think I want to do is I want to take the scripts that I have publicly And I've always tried to make them as universal as possible like that they you know They're POSIX compliant and they don't have too many GNU You know options and stuff in there so they can run on other systems but I think a lot of the things that It's gonna be hard to live without LSBLK I always use that but you know, there are just a couple commands that BSD doesn't have or they do differently Now I will say let me make a comment about the open BSD installation Now basically they give you command line options to install like you you pull it up And there's an install script and it asks you oh, you know, where do you want to install this? Do you want this do you want that like yes? No questions and you respond to them and I I will go ahead and say I do not like that. Okay. I Prefer I guess more of the arch Linux wave installing things and the reason I say that is because You know on arch Linux of the wall, okay on open BSD You're basically doing the same things, but it's not you who's running the command You just have to trust that the script You know it's gonna partition your drives in the way that you intend and there are a bunch of different things I had to you know, I really wanted a command line Actually, you know TTY's work differently like I was expecting to be able to just jump over to another TTY I guess things work different. I haven't figured you know some basic things out on open BSD as you can probably tell But I'll just say I don't like the insulate like I would prefer something closer to how a lot of Linux Distributions like arch Linux install at the beginning where you run the commands But I don't know well, I guess what's weird to me is that open BSD of the people who use it you sort of expect it to be People who probably are a little more tech Savvy than Linux users, um, maybe not my much, but at least by some so you would expect that all of them would be capable of running such commands Um, I guess they just wanted to they just have this historic installer, which doesn't really give you the options I wanted and But regardless it installed very fine all the firmware or whatever it needs actually I haven't tried Wi-Fi on this Okay, I'm probably need to test that. I don't know if Wi-Fi installed it correctly. I'm not saying it's wrong I'm just saying I haven't tested it. I don't even know the open BSD Wi-Fi command. Anyway, all of this is to say I installed open BSD and I'm playing around with it. I'm not promising anything But if things work out very well, and I'm able to port over a lot of my builds of stuff if I can port over DWM And some other things I might I might seriously look at it as an operating system on my laptop now the reason I didn't install it on my laptop. I actually even have 30 gigabytes of free Unpartitioned space on one of the hard drives that's on my laptop But the reason I did not install it on my laptop, and I didn't think about this Originally, I was like, oh, I can definitely put it on my laptop, but Open BSD I don't think is compatible with EXT for partitions So I was gonna install a root partition on my laptop and then mount my EXT for home partition that I use on Linux that way I could have all my data and stuff and I could start over from there and of course lots of little scripts We would probably break but I could fix that easy enough But I can't do that because open BSD so far as I know I sort of did some cursory looks at it But it really it at least out of the box. It can't handle EXT for partitions or file systems Whatever, I guess it's better to call them file systems. I don't quite know but I don't know anything about file systems I just always have used EXT for since I've been on Linux or NTFS if I want to have a External drive that boots, you know connects the windows or whatever. Anyway, now I'm just rambling So I'll try it out. I'll see how it goes Maybe it'll something will come of it. I Think I identify this that sounds like a stupid thing to say But I really feel like I sort of identify more with the way that open BSD look Open BSD people look at some things and how they've organized their often operating system and it avoids some of the stupidity of Linux, but I am content with the Linux distribution. I use Artix and the setup that I have So I'm not saying I'm gonna switch over. I'm just saying I'm throwing it out there This has been the first time in several years. I've bothered to actually try another operating system out for myself Sometime if I want to try an operating system out, you know, and someone asks me to install Linux Maybe I'll tell them hey try this so I can sort of learn about it. But yeah, I don't know my I definitely I Don't really care about this stuff anymore, but I'm doing it. Anyway, I don't know That's why I do this video because maybe someone cares Because people watch this channel and think I put up technology stuff when I don't really Okay, that's it. See you guys next time
