I swear by OpenBSD. I use it on my home server. I use it to write C code (their C standard library has a few very nice things, such as arc4random, strl{cat,cpy}, explicit_bzero, timingsafe_memcmp, libtls, and other things that I run into often enough that I don't want to think about them before I start adding portability stuff).
Of course, it's not much of an option for anything I require proprietary software.
- __turbobrew__ 7y agoOpenbsd has opened my eyes to how deficient documentation is in Linux.
- mikorym 7y agoMeaning it has good documentation?
- mruts 7y ago+1 for OpenBSD. For C, it’s the nicest platform around. I love the system man pages and the like you said, they have a lot of nice system and library functions to use as well. Also it’s pretty easy to copy the C stuff to new OSes as well for portability.
