   @mikeburns electron's obvious problems like grotesque resource usage aside, why doesn't electron run on your systems? and how does that affect electron's portability?

   if it's because it's not compatible with openbsd and that's what you run, it's like complaining that you don't get graphics drivers from nvidia and ati when using amigaos

      @mikeburns bsds are, unfortunately, obscure and very sparsely used on desktops compared to even linux

      if bsds had an eula it'd say "when you install this os, there's no guarantee that third party software outside of ports will be even remotely compatible", i know i've signed that clause in my head when i started using bsds

      but if it is, as i said, because you use openbsd, there's hope (freebsd): https://github.com/electron/electron/issues/3797#issuecomment-369696674
