I built this because I am tired of OSs turning into server-controlled clients. We are losing the ability to understand, let alone rebuild, the tools we use every day.
The Project: OneManBSD is a customized OpenBSD 7.8 installation image for i386 platforms.
The "Sovereign" Features:
Source in the Image: The installer includes sys.tgz, src.tgz, xenocara.tgz, and ports.tgz. You can go offline and rebuild the entire kernel and base system from the local drive.
No Bloat: I’ve avoided Gtk3 and Qt. The desktop uses JWM, XFE, and Nedit.
Offline Docs: Full documentation is included in the image for true independence.
My goal isn't to start a "distro" but to encourage others to build their own "OneMan" systems. The more versions and diversifications we have, the more freedom we keep.
I’d love to hear your thoughts on maintaining a source-only workflow on older hardware.
