OpenBSD is just so good. There's no BS. Everything just either works, or it isn't supported.

- dbtc 6y agoI see some similarity, in terms of ruthlessly good design, to the Jobsian Apple era
- thomashabets2 6y agoWell, I wouldn't go that far. Last time I tried OpenBSD I ran into several bugs. One reproducible freeze, one sloppy coding (ksh), and some leftover cruft in the kernel. Previous times I've used OpenBSD I've encountered bugs in what feels like any place I've looked. MPLS, time parsing in libc, … But it's definitely more "if it exists, it works" than the Lennartware that's been taking over Linux for the last several years.
