7.8 release packages are now ready for OpenBSD/riscv64.
marc.info?l=openbsd-cv...
Release packages are still pending for OpenBSD/armv7 (32-bit arm) & OpenBSD/macppc (32-bit powerpc) as these architectures are slow to build. 👍

Slay the Spire still might be one of the most addicting games that you can #PlayOnBSD, twitch clip of me streaming #StS on #OpenBSD back in 2020. 😊🐡

Some of my favourite indie games that work are Slay the Spire, by Mega Crit and and also Unavowed by Wadjet Games. ♥️

Indeed! OpenBSD 7.8 was released last month, 59th release. We even have fancy things like modern amdgpu and intel gpu drivers, and even Vulkan API! Okay, so we don't have Wine or Proton, or fancy compatibility layers (so, no Steam client, no Unity games, *sob*), but still.. 😅

And some of us play games on OpenBSD because it's cool. 😎
Not exactly a game-- but gaming related, we have a community called PlayOnBSD.
pobsd.chocolatines.org
This includes commercial games using open engines, portable language runtimes. One of members (@thfr.bsky.social) just released IndieRunner, a wrapper to run games.

In OpenBSD 7.8, rge(4) should support the RTL8127 2x 10GbE chipset in these ARM machines thanks to Kevin Lo (kevlo@). Same goes for the CIX CP8180 SoC (OpenBSD supports the Orion O6, as well).
I'd be interested in seeing a dmesg.

just a heads up, there's no macppc binary packages for 7.8 yet :-(
hopefully soon! so you'll have to compile stuff from ports, or stick with 7.7 for now.

OpenBSD/macppc release packages usually show up about week or so, they just take a bit longer to build. That's why it currently says "powerpc: xxx" on the 78.html page. 😊
I also try to make a post about it when they show up. We're still waiting on 32-bit arm packages for 7.8 too.

OpenBSD vi(1) is also nvi, not classic vi. But it's not the 'nvi2' that's often found on other systems. Bug fixes have occasionally flowed between them over the years, though.
My favourite was a memory leak that I found the hard way, could run your system into swap by resizing an xterm window. 😅
