You're right, my mistake in communication there.

Speed is not a concern for me because it is fast for everything I use the laptop for. I didn't hit snags where things were slow.

I'll update the post later for clarity. Thank you for pointing it out.

Great stuff. Also a big fan of OpenBSD, but what put me off eventually is lack of VMs, Wine and... speed. On Thinkpad T410 (ancient) it was noticeably slower than FreeBSD almost on any task, especially video playback in the browser. Not really related to the file system use. Perhaps, the effect is not as pronounced on CPUs of these days. Software selection was also a little claustrophobic.

I'm now using FreeBSD as my main machine for almost a year - really happy with the outcome, but even there some areas, like neural networks for example, are difficult. (But Keras and Theano are there!)

In many aspects OpenBSD was amazing. It needed very little tinkering with to get running properly, configs and ps ax were super-clean. Amazing environment.

There is some work done about VMs: https://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq16.html
