Can an iMac G3 with OpenBSD be my daily driver?

Follow
Action Retro

Thanks https://PCBWay.com Today we're installing the latest version of OpenBSD 7.0 from 2021! on a 333mhz iMac G3 from 1999. That's right a totally modern OS! And in the spirit of the PowerPC Challenge, I want to see just how modern of a computing experience we can eek out of this thing.

Thanks for the cameo, @BranchusCreations!

Thank you PCBWay for sponsoring today's retrospective!
