I backed up all my files.
I made USB boot disks of various #BSDs.
I made a clonezilla clone of the entire disk.
I booted into the #FreeBSD disk and was about to wipe out #OpenBSD.
At the last minute, I decided to go through pt.4 of @rootbsd's OpenBSD setup video to see if I could squeeze any more performance out of it.
No better, as far as I could tell.
I went through OpenBSD Guy's (YT) OpenBSD performance video.
Still 25+ seconds to open up Firefox. :'(
But...

...

...

I just can't wipe it.
I like #OpenBSD too much, even if it runs like maple syrup candy.

...

...

I don't want to abandon a BSD who's devs *actually* freaking use it on their home machines, and who don't do presentations on "unix bad, bsd irrelevant, linux good, systemd great" from their freaking macbooks (yes, I'm summarizing/lampooning one particular FreeBSD dev's presentations. I won't say who. They have a right to their opinion, and they are an intelligent, decent human being, as far as I know, and I wish them the best)

...

...

I don't want to leave a BSD that has excellent manpages, freaking SENSIBLE config files, and a focus on elegance.

I'm just going to pretend that my Core 2 Duo Thinkpad X200 is a Pentium III T23 until I can get a faster box to play with #OpenBaSeD on. ;)

@RL_Dane Have you ever considered trying your hand at making your own OS ;)

@golemwire

Ermagherd, I haven't even set up Arch, Gentoo, or LFS, lol.

Actually, yes. I would like to.

But in #uxn, not native. Assuming I scrape together enough time to actually learn the assembly language. But I know I will.

@RL_Dane I've dabbled in UXN. I was thinking about making an OS for UXN, but 64KiB and other limitations of it have turned me against the idea of implementing my dream OS in it. I've had ideas for a while....

On and off I work on my own instruction set architecture. UXN was the final boost that got me to get it to a semi-reasonable place.

Perhaps I'll finish up that ISA's design and implement a VM for it. Then, I could make a little OS for it.
