Table Notes and Explanations

(Please refer to the table below.)
  • Select view:
  • To compare the software in this project to the software available in other distributions, please see our Compare Packages page.
  • Notes: In case where multiple versions of a package are shipped with a distribution, only the default version appears in the table. For indication about the GNOME version, please check the "nautilus" and "gnome-shell" packages. The Apache web server is listed as "httpd" and the Linux kernel is listed as "linux". The KDE desktop is represented by the "plasma-desktop" package and the Xfce desktop by the "xfdesktop" package.
  • Colour scheme: green text = latest stable version, red text = development or beta version. The function determining beta versions is not 100% reliable due to a wide variety of versioning schemes.

The wifi chip in my Lenovo laptop isn't supported by OpenBSD so I have only tried it out in VMware.

The install is pretty easy, often you can rely on the default options and only hit enter to proceed. However the automatic partitioning is not optimal, as the /usr/local partition created is too small even on a 20GB drive, and gets filled upp very quickly by just installing a browser and desktop environment,

In the install you have the option to get Xorg pre-configured with a basic window manager (FVWM). For a DE like Xfce to work it takes som more configuration effort however.

For some reason Firefox takes several minutes to launch. Trying to stream from Youtube didn't work for me. At the beginning both the sound and video stutters. Pretty soon after the sound stops completely but the video continues to play correctly. Searching on the web for a solution to this turns up very few hits, but some people report similar problems.

It's hard to know if this problem exists because of the way OpenBSD is designed, compatibility issues with VMware or that Firefox is not natively developed for the OS but a port.

In the end I like OpenBSD for what it is and look forward to try it on bare metal to see it it works better there.

I've been using it on servers since version 2.8 and since 5.9 I've been using it on my laptop. It is the easiest UNIX-like operating system to use on a laptop - on my Thinkpad everything works out of the box - volume buttons, setting screen brightness, audio, wifi and graphics.

There is no possibility to use Nvidia graphics cards due to Nvidia's lack of cooperation when it comes to drivers and OpenBSD refuses to accept blobs.

OpenBSD is not the fastest operating system, but they don't enumerate "performance" as their goal, so you can't complain about that.

Besides, if you were supposed to buy a car - would its speed be the only factor you'd consider?

OpenBSD is easy to use, it's safe and feels familiar. It is sustainable (yes, before this buzz-word became trendy) in a way you can be sure that in 10 year's time your OpenBSD experience will be the virtually the same as today. Unlike macOS, Windows, Linux etc.

I've used it in the past, pre 7.1, & it worked faultlessly on my various computers.

However since the release of 7.1, it doesn't want to work on my computers any more. :(

I don't know what changes were made, but it has caused me to reassess NetBSD, which now does work on my computers, including wifi, (which was always a problem before).

So I,personnally, have had to change alliegence to NetBSD (9.3).

The choice of Window Manager of OpenBSD was always peculiar, to my mind, & I always added Fluxbox to make it useable for me.

NetBSD comes with a reworked version of TWM, called CTWM, & has automatic addition of installed programs to its menu; it's a bit old fashioned looking, but much more user friendly than FVWM is to me.
