    I initially entered the *BSD universe because I wanted to learn more about the system. I chose NetBSD because it’s the closest to the original.

    NetBSD has all the software I need so it’s easy to daily drive it. They’re is heaps of active developers and package maintainers and if what you want isn’t in the repo then it’ll be in pkgsrc.

    I do use Void Linux on another machine too but I use my NetBSD machine more. It’s just more fun.

    Thanks. I’m trying to get started with EMWM but am a bit confused. I’m looking for a default configuration to work from. Is ~/.emwmrc all I need or are changes to ~/.Xresources also required?

    Could you please share your config so I might learn more about setting it up?

    Distro is irrelevant. DE/WM choice is all that matters as far as GUI goes. Also, if you want a GUI that looks or feels like windows then KDE probably has you covered in that you could probably customise it to mimic windows.

    I quite like the Desktop Environment in elementaryOS. I think it’s called Pantheon Desktop? It’s very polished. Or InstantWM from InstantOS is also interesting and has some nice animations and effects.

    Personally, I use simple and minimal Openbox

    I mean, the one thing I dont like about the whole “free as in freedom” statement is that it implies I would still pay for it. I still want my Libre software to be free of charge, lets not forget how we all pirated licensed software when we were kids…
