Since quite some time I'm more than annoyed by the unnecessary complexity and difficulty of traditional distributions caused by inconsistent system tools and backwards compatibility with antique things that block modernization and simplification.
Do you know whether OpenBSD strives for consistency and throws away stuff when there is a better alternative?
- jlgaddis 10y agoThey replaced OpenSSL with their own LibreSSL and sudo with doas, among others.
- gkya 10y agoThe whole BSD family of operating systems provide far better consistency than the Linux distro universe, as they are the ones to directly maintain the base system's codebase (POSIX utilites, OS-specific utilites, the kernel, the drivers, init system). Linux distros, on the other hand, are just a juxtaposition of software from a plethora of sources.
