It’s not at all competitive with Linux performance-wise and also lacks observability (eBPF). These are strong reasons to pass.

- mikem170 5y agoOpenbsd is very competitive with Linux performance wise for a thinkpad user. Runs plenty fast enough on my vps, also. I haven't run any benchmarks but I've never waited on anything. I believe you that linux is faster, but it's speed that I don't need. I never heard of eBPF before. Is that like dtrace? I gather there was some working on adding that to bsd. I haven't missed not having either of those. Maybe more for lower level coding? The simplicity, consistency, and documentation are a bigger deal to me. I realize needs and preferences vary.
