Good morning people at misc@,
now for a year I used Windows 7 Pro and OpenBSD 5.8/5.9
in a multiboot installation on my Ultrabook Toshiba Portege Z930-12C
very well. Mostly all components in the Portege are well supported
since longer time (was not 3 years ago, when I bought it :-( )
MEI = Management Engine Interface? I believe no one needs ;)
After the anniversary update this month, I decided to get my
free copy of Windows 10 and use it also as a multiboot installation.
HORROR installation. Cleaned up sd0 with dc3dd, partitioned with
my beloved OpenBSD fdisk, Starting with giving windows 80, 100
120 GB disk space, nothing worked, would not install. Installed
Windows 10 alone and reading out the mbr table to adjust my
setup. No way. Partitioning with OpenBSD fdisk same way as
Windows did, Windows would not format nor install on the
partition I choose. So I have given up entirely on Windows 10.
The year I had the multiboot installation on Win7Pro and OpenBSD
I converted my workflow and files mostly over to LibreOffice,
GIMP and some others, which I used in parallel on both OS.
What I am missing a bit, is the BlackBerry and BlackBerry Enterprise Server
support (BES12), but my service provider offers a Outlook Web App
to have my PIM data on notebook and handheld.
What I will say, it is no pain for me.
(Even he opened access for me, that I can use standards to access
mail only and use my beloved MUA mutt :-) )
Thank you to Microsoft to make it such a pain to use their latest OS
as dual boot installation. That made the decision for me very, very
easy to take the step to fully work only with OpenBSD.
And of course, thank you Theo and all the developers of the base
system and the ports tree to have that system grown up in a way
that is well supported, even on exotic machines. Having a secure,
reliable and performant system. Having programs like LibreOffice,
Firefox, VLC, GIMP, Postscript, PDF and many, many more.
Even printing with a Brother MFC-9140CDN over network or USB,
connected to my APU2 or directly with USB works
with ONLY the standard installation of lpd(8)
of the 4.3BSD Line printer spooler (Yay!)
No dependencies! Of course the Printer has an
integrated print server with 6 queues for txt, bin, ps, pcl ;)
Mostly using txt output from console or ps output from Firefox/Libreoffice.
And I am pretty sure, that even faxing out from the notebook over
the Brother machine, will work in the next few weeks, as I have time
to gather the required informations.
Thank you very much developers, maintainers, list and irc supporters
who spent time on supporting people to stay with OpenBSD, to motivate
people to read faq's, man pages and other documentations. To get
people ready to even help other people with particular problems.
Regards,
-stefan
