/BSD/ thread
I came cause I have a question
why might I consider using openBSD instead of freeBSD for my personal computer? I'm looking to install a BSD on this thing, and know my way around freeBSD, but wanna know if I should do openBSD. It ran like shit in a VM so I don't really consider that a good test.
Also waifu wise netBSD is cutest for me

All the BSDs are awesome. That said, you really have to decide based on your usage.
FreeBSD is the one most likely to easily get up and running to look something like a Linux desktop.
OpenBSD and NetBSD have different strengths. You'll need to check your hardware compatibility with them. They're really good to study Unix with though. I find it really nice to understand the elegance of how OpenBSD works. I also like their innovation with security.

I suppose I'll just go for freeBSD and give netBSD a go in a VM... I hope it runs well in there. I found it strange how crippled the performance of openBSD was, now, I was using virtualbox to be honest, which doesn't have the best speed.

I think you'll be happy with FreeBSD. You either get into OpenBSD or not. It isn't for everyone. Their mission statement is security, not optimizing for speed. With a modern system, the most complicated app I run is Firefox. OpenBSD did just get a patch help with Firefox speed issues. It's not in release yet afaik, only in -current.

we need an actual japanese artist to design better BSD-tans, that's for sure
i think there was an official freebsd one a very long time ago, she even had a theme song

How's the power management with OpenBSD?
