What makes BSD stand out as its own system? I’ve been thinking about installing it in a new computer mainly for reading but I don’t know much about it.

    Do you have recommendations for where to get started with OpenBSD? The only BSD distro(?) I have gotten working with my hardware (Thinkpad X1 gen9, M1 Mac) is Nomad.

      Simply get started using the OpenBSD FAQ. I think the Gen9 Thinkpad X1 should work. I just don’t know if it uses NVIDIA crap. If it does, you’re shit outta luck. As for the first generation Apple silicon, I don’t know how feature complete OpenBSD is on that platform.
