How hard it is to make a compiler?

sdfsdfsdfs

Anyone here have any experience with Openbsd? I would like to try it for the first time.

I really doubt there's an installer for BSD that have full DE setup, but I do find someone made an iso with full packaged iso together with DE here https://sf.net/projects/livecd-openbsd/files/LiveCD-KDE.iso/download. So, on linux should I do like this:

1)extract iso into my alternate partition
sudo dd if=bsd.iso of=/dev/sda7 #<-alternate partition

2)set up bootloader to boot BSD
in /etc/grub.d/40_custom add these lines:

menuentry "OpenBSD" {
set root=(hd0,6) #<-bsd partition
chainloader +1
}

and then update-grub, but what if I want to boot on encrypted partition where BSD os is located? is there any extra setup do I need to configure on the current bootloader? Please reply anon, need help to install this BSD os.

Hey anon, I'm desperately need to tell you something about the xf86-video-ati driver. Well apperently, just recently I made a switch to use a linux libre kernel and it seems to work flawlessly on most of its free driver modules that can be loaded at boot into xorg server without kernel mode drm. The xf86-video-ati source code can be reach at its github here https://github.com/freedesktop/xorg-xf86-video-ati, there's also other alternative sources available which you can easily find it on the internet.

So, according to its shell man page documentation they provided, it only mention few option of modesettings modules that can be loaded into linux-libre kernel. The choices are "glamor", "exa" and "xaa" which being said that "xaa" it's an traditional technique of acceleration method according to https://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/precise/man4/radeon.4.html. I read somewhere about the glamor modules, supposely it is the highest end of xf86-video-ati module has to offer. Out of my curiousity, I did more analysis on it and finally figure out where the system fetched all these module files according to my xorg log until, I found out more undocumented driver modules available that can be loaded into config files.

All of these modules can be fetch from /usr/lib/xorg/modules
