Build and install NsCDE on OpenBSD 7.5

Thanks for this, I wish this was in ports,

Would you prefer CDE or NsCDE and why?

[@TheOpenBSDguy]

I don't use any of them. I made both videos because many viewers asked me to showcase how to install them. From the security standpoint, however, NsCDE is a better choice since it's not using outdated libraries, and seems to be more maintained. Additionally, NsCDE has better compatibility with modern-day applications in terms of look and feel. On the other hand, according to CDE users, NsCDE is still missing some features and is not a drop and replacement of CDE. To them, it's more like a customized FVWM made to look like CDE. Again I don't use any of those desktop and have not much of familiarity with them. My go to WM is i3

@@TheOpenBSDguy Thanks!

on my openbsd (hp mini elitedesk fanless 6th gen intel) i use fvwm3 modified similarly to nscde but not exactly the same... i used some configs i found on web and modified them could you show us how to host a site on oopenbsd or how to install a very light desktop ? What is the lightest...a test!

There is a video about running LAMP and WordPress on OpenBSD. Yet I have to figure out about https. On the desktop environment, I don't know much but probably the benchmark matches with Linix

Nah.. Thanks for the video, but I'll stick with CDE. To this day it's my favorite video on your channel. And all the security talks, it all depends on what you are using it for. The machine with OpenBSD and CDE I use does not have an access to any crucial data nor my banking. All I do on it is read and write, and it works like charm.
