* The installer lags unless you temporarily disable 3D acceleration until open-vm-tools are installed
* The Norwegian keyboard layout defaults to Dvorak, which I suspect isn't the most common one ;)
* The default installer resolution was a tiny 800x600. Click Activities and type Displays to get to the relevant settings.
Now for the more exciting stuff, like testing if Tailscale works out of the box.
I'm really looking for a dependable pseudo-desktop/server OS for the monolithic legacy box at home. In terms of immutable, NixOS is it right now, but tbh it's had enough random uptime issues as of late, I'm starting to doubt my decision. Though I still haven't narrowed it down to this machine as opposed to some network/routing/storage problem
OpenVMS for x86_64 should come out for the community in May ;)
However in the meantime, try FreeBSD.
I've been on it exclusively on my desktop and laptop for the past couple of months and have grown to like it a lot.
Sorry, our mistake. Several focus groups with Norwegians, left us assuming they thought in dvorak.
Will revert to qwerty.
I'm curious because I (an American) have been using Dvorak for longer than I'd ever used qwerty, so I would find this pretty interesting.
Dvorak being the default layout was a problem because it was completely hidden due to the low screen resolution.
