OpenBSD feels more cohesively designed, in my experience. If you have an older ThinkPad lying around, it should be a dead-easy installation and a pretty easy setup process. Back when I used it on a laptop, I liked its design but I didn't find it practical for my workflow compared to Linux and macOS.
- ndiddy 6y agoDo you still need to use a third-party service in order to get binary software updates between distro releases?
- upofadown 6y agoNo. At least not for security updates. There is syspatch for the base system and "pkg_add -u" now also also pulls from a package collection called "packages-stable". The regular 6 month base system updates have been automated as well with "sysupgrade". Doesn't work for whole disk encryption if you have required networking firmware that can't be distributed (I'm looking at you Intel), For that particular case you have to copy the new ram disk kernel (bsd.rd) to the root of the disk. Regular updates are super easy now.
