Hi misc,
I am getting a Pinebook Pro soon and just wondering how many hours the battery
tends to last from a full charge with OpenBSD?
Use case is some web browsing, light code compilation and coding in terminal,
watching occasional tv show on mpv.

will go out of sync when using vlc. Better to use mplayer in these cases (or
smplayer/kmplayer for a GUI). Experiment with which video output driver suits

Hi Mihai,
The instructions for applying patches are here:
http://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq10.html#Patches
If you work you way through, it does not take too much understanding of openbsd
to do, but you will learn a lot by doing.
Brett.
