OpenBSD 7.4 current

thats a cool lookin setup

I use twm on NetBSD completely stock save for the background. In all my years on using Unix-like systems, I've never been good at extensive configuration, so I was hard-pressed to figure out how to set the background in the typical config files, so I simply added the appropriate feh command to my .shrc.
Since the shell starts up upon logging into the X session, it's a good, if hackish, solution. This also makes it pretty easy to change my background since it's right there, but I won't, since I like this H.R. Giger wallpaper too much to want to change it.

what is the DE?
looks like openbsd is made by devs, for devs..

It appears to be bspwm tiling window manager...

Which does not imply "by devs,for devs". I have no idea what any individual developer would use - that's a personal choice.

It's bspwm (as the user blackhole had said). The full setup info is bspwm + Polybar + sxhkd + picom + dmenu

bspwm is suitable for developers, but actually for all people who use desktops it is one of the most optimal and productive window managers if you configure it.

It is also a good window manager for gamers as it is one of the window managers that achieve the highest performance (fps) in games, together with xmonad.

You can use bspwm on Linux as well (for gaming).

You can combine it with picom and through the following configuration you will have no screen tearing and a visual experience completely similar to Wayland.

I still use OpenBSD and bspwm on this PC, this is my current setup: https://i.imgur.com/oc6dLMn.png


OpenBSD is a fairly versatile operating system, you can use it for many purposes.
It is possibly the best option for firewalls, but it is also very suitable for databases thanks to UFS.
It is also perfect for web servers as NginX is one of the standard packages.

It is also quite capable as a daily driver (desktop system).
You have several good browsers such as Firefox, Chromium and Epiphany. You have a lot of KDE and GTK software and apps like Blender.
Even gaming is possible as you have multiple console emulators and also some good native games.

bspwm is a (manual) tiling window manager but you can switch to floating mode with just one simple key combination.
It's a versatile WM.
