How could I get started with BSD?

hello,

I want to learn and deep dive into BSD systems. I am a Linux user for more than 3 years and now I am curious to learn and use BSD since BSD is similar to Linux and has binary compatibility.

sadly my laptop wifi card isn't supported by any BSD systems. so I can't use it as my daily driver. so where should I go or do to learn more about BSD?

KDE launched version 6 of its Plasma desktop environment on February 28, 2024, bringing numerous updates and features as well as the major switch to Qt6. I am immensely proud that the OpenBSD team has managed to prepare for this major update so swiftly. All necessary components have been committed to our CVS tree, and the packages will soon be available.

YES! KDE6 landed in OpenBSD -current

Hetzner (like many other providers) do not provide #OpenBSD machines.. but there is a nice #syadmin trick to install your beloved OS over whatever they provide. In this video we will see how you. In short:

1. Create your #GNU / #Linux machine
2. Login, wget & dd the IMG
3. Reboot in Console and install using network installation (say http packages)
4. Reboot in your new OS
5. Have fun.

I frequently find myself needing to rerun commands with the -h flag, and I was just wondering why it is not the default behavior of programs to show sizes in human-readable terms?

On VGA it is 1920x1200 and in virtio and qxl even less , what can be done to change this ?

Saw this and its so awesome seeing the BSD shine and improve. There is not a lot as linux but steadily i hope these are shared more and more.

Anyway here is one i recently saw uploaded 2d games are still a banger. Openbsd Gaming
