OpenBSD 7.6 Released With AVX-512, Initial Support For Snapdragon X Elite SoCs

[hiiiii]

Thanks!

This was very user-unfriendly! I had expected --version to work. They should make ssh work more as expected in a more standardized and common way like other programs.

That common way is flawed.
There should not be no --help since everything is written in the manual pages. No long options because the developers do not use them.

Pretty soon OpenBSD will have better hardware support than Linux.

That's highly unlikely. Hardware support requires bodies to implement, and the Linux kernel just has more engineers - including from the very same companies that produce said hardware. In addition to that, FreeBSD is lagging as it is on drivers, so it has lots to catch up on.

Wait? Snapdragon X elite boot without depends of DTS files? how openbsd archive this? just using ACPI?

Incredible, it is perfect, really linux doesn't have a proper booting support without depends of DTS, i really want to know how longer is the status of support in notebooks

Pretty soon my band which only plays in the garage will get our big break and become the one biggest rock bands in the world!

We all can dream of the impossible.

You're erring on the side of generosity towards OpenBSD here 😉

Looking forward to updating my systems. Actually, OpenBSD is the only software these days where I actively look forward to new releases

Yeah, I am not so smart as you so for me it is important that software is easy to use.

As a reminder, your opinion of user-friendly can be very different to anothers opinion of user-friendly. So ultimately the developers pick the right choice of doing what they want and for what suits them (luckily for many people, that aligns closer to their opinion of user-friendly).

So no functioning brain as usual.

Yeah, I am not so smart as you so for me it is important that software is easy to use and that it follows common usability patterns, design guidelines and conventions.
