Hi Everyone
My name is Patrick, this is my first post here.
I switched my primary computer from Windows to Linux about 9 years ago.
I service scientific instruments. About 12 years ago I became aware of
the brutal conditions scientific software is sold under. I have been
slowly writing my own application to work with these instruments, it's
taken a long time because I have had to learn to code.
I had always planed on deploying on Linux.
While about 7 out of the 9 years with Linux have been good, the
graphical experience on Linux has plummeted for me. I don't really want
to send prospective customers to Linux any more. I am fearing that
Windows may end up being my only option.
It looks like OpenBSD is all about software correctness and I am sure it
will be great to work with, in a sort of "back end" way but is there a
desktop manager to work with it that can match the reliability of OpenBSD?
I tried to load Fluxbox and was disappointed with it. It had several
menubuttons for application that were not yet installed.
Any help would be very much appreciated, I feel trapped and it sounds
weird to say this but I am really a bit depressed about the idea of
heading back to Windows.
