@hitest I know that you are also on Slackware. I also have read a couple of articles about the difference of Linux vs Unix. I'm wondering if you find one Linux distribution more similar to OpenBSD in command structure and file structure to ease in moving between the two?
Also, have you run into any Linux programs that don't run on UNIX with the Linux integration of OpenBSD? Cheers.

Slackware is a very unix-like version of Linux. I find moving between Slackware and the BSDs to be comfortable.

There is no such thing. You may be thinking of compat_linux(8), which is no longer available. This was a Linux syscall(2) emulation layer that could be used with select Linux ELF binary files.

Not all syscalls were emulated, it was available for only one architecture (32-bit Intel), and required the admin to manually install most necessary libraries. It had been unmaintained for some years and was eventually removed from the OS.

I second this! I run Slackware and FreeBSD exclusively so cannot speak for other Linuxes or BSDs, but these two are very comfortable to move between.

OpenBSD 6.2 as a desktop system running on a Acer Aspire Phenom Quad 4 2GB using onboard Radeon ATI

Using base systems FVWM with modified version of config file from https://github.com/bfmartin/fvwm-config-on-openbsd along with libreoffice, firefox, mpv, xfe, osmo, stalonetray and mtpaint

https://s1.postimg.org/4od9bsgf0f/snap.jpg

Iconified windows show starting from bottom left.

I've adjusted the config to have both the tray (stalonetray) and desktop pager contained within the fvwm buttons. Stalonetray has a nice little scrollbar when (in my setup) more than 3 items are within the tray.

Some icons when iconified were larger than others, I've also corrected that and have the entire bottom of screen set as where icons appear (I opened and iconified xcalc a number of times just for the purposes of creating the image below)

https://s1.postimg.org/1xiijjga7j/image.png

Nice now. Full screen window and double click its titlebar and the fvwm button are revealed and ready to be clicked/used. The first three icons in the top are the tray, osmo (right click presents its various notes, calendar, tasks ..etc drop down), radiotray (click that to select the radio stations I've set), and the third is libre quickstart (drop down showing choice of word processor, spreadsheet, draw ...etc.).

OpenBSD 6.2 X fonts

I've been trying out different fonts under fvwm for X programs, but they're rather jagged. gtk2 and browser etc fonts are all fine, just can't seen to get nicer fonts for X programs such as xman, xedit ...etc. https://s1.postimg.org/3xfc6ywovz/image.png

Any tips?

OpenBSD 6.2 twm

cwm seems more for laptops where its easier to use the keyboard than the touchpad mouse.

fvwm is great for configurability, but you become more engrossed with changing things than just using the system

twm is elegantly simple, (like fvwm) more better suited for where you predominately use the mouse (like me) and where you're much less inclined to spend hours changing things. twm is Unix philosophy at its purest, does one thing (window management) very well.

I'm currently trying out the "portable" version of cwm on Slackware in preference to dwm which I've been using for a while now, and I find it very nice to use. The only thing I find is missing is support for layering so that I can force the gimp toolbox windows to remain above its image window.

twm doesn't handle _NET_WM_STATE_FULLSCREEN, and dwm also has problems with some programs when they enter fullscreen mode which is what prompted me to try cwm.

So far I really like it. It may not do everything I could wish, but what it does do, it does very well. And yes, it's very keyboard centric: but I like that.

I find still having the title bar when "full screen" is nice. You can always drag/drop the window a little higher so that most if not all of the titlebar is off screen.

I've been using Xfe with OpenBSD/twm, however I've previously used pcmanfm as my filemanager and that also supports desktop icon management i.e. by running pcmanfm --desktop &

With that desktop loaded as a window rather than full screen you can move it so that most of the title is off screen at the top and perhaps leave just a 1 pixel wide edge at the left screen edge

The first attached image is my twm screen, the second is the pcmanfm desktop screen and the third is where pcmanfm desktop screen is lowered (middle mouse button click of the pcmanfm desktop titlebar does that for me). From there you can click the icons to launch programs such as firefox and its as though those icons were part of the twm desktop. The only thing is that twm mouse clicks on the desktop are directed to pcmanfm desktop, however with a 1 pixel wide left edge you can mouse button click over there to access the usual twm menus.

It would seem that setting the desktop wallpaper within pcmanfm also sets it for twm, which is one less other program to have to install such as xv or feh. I'm currently ditching xfe in favour of pcmanfm so that my full desktop set will be OpenBSD along with ...

libreoffice -- full office suite
mpv -- for audio and video
mtpaint -- for image editing/converting
numlockx -- numlock key
osmo -- notes/task/calendar/diary
pcmanfm -- filemanager, desktop icons, wallpaper
stalonetray -- system tray

I've attached my really messy .twmrc (had to add a .txt suffix for it to be accepted as a upload). Within that you'll see how I've set twm mouse middle button click to present volume adjustment. I also have my UK keyboard set so that the WIN and MENU keys right of the spacebar have keybindings along with PrintScreen (Sysrq) invokes a time delayed screen snapshot using mtpaint and sleep i.e. calls a script that contains

#!/bin/sh
sleep 3
mtpaint -s

Added this script to .xsession (I used xenodm so .xinitrc not used)

Code:
#!/bin/sh

# Rufwoof Nov 2017
#Using pcmanfm --desktop on top of OpenBSD twm, move the pcmanfm
# desktop title off screen

WIDTH=1280
HEIGHT=800
X=3
Y=-32

# id it i.e. pcmanfm here
ID=`xdotool search --onlyvisible --name pcmanfm`
while [ "$ID" == "" ]; do
  sleep 1
  ID=`xdotool search --onlyvisible --name pcmanfm`
done

# size it
xdotool windowsize $ID $WIDTH $HEIGHT

# move it
xdotool windowmove $ID $X $Y
... and its working great. At cold boot it boots to the desktop aligned as desired, and same if exit/restart X/twm.
