Why? I use OpenBSD exclusively and it works fine. Sure there are some programs that suck balls but don't blame that on OpenBSD blame that on the people who write that shit. The open source world is littered with crap and there are some gems. Tis' the nature of the beast. > Then there are those, like myself, that use OpenBSD for a few > specific tasks because doing it on OpenBSD is significantly less > painful than doing it on anything else. So that would be, like, almost everything. Sure if you need garbage like youtube you might need some winders and other flash running poop. > So, OpenBSD doesn't support your new shiny hardware. > If you'd used your old hardware to read the device manpages you could > have picked out hardware appropriate for the task at hand. Right, so where is the problem again? You either spend the time picking your hardware or chasing howtos on how to run some random piece of shit hardware in loonocks/fleabsd/othernoncommercialos. These are all perception problems not real problems. Again, if one doesn't "need" flash one can do anything and everything on OpenBSD just fine. I am not claiming that OpenBSD should be used under all circumstances however making blanket statements that OpenBSD can't handle it is dumb.
