And unlike Linux, has a stable ABI.

  Linux has a stable userland ABI OpenBSD doesn't even have that: if you don't reboot quickly after installing a major upgrade you're going to have a bad time whereas you can run ancient userland on more modern Linux kernels (as evidenced by the container ecosystem)

    The Linux kernel has a stable userland ABI. Other core components that makes up most Linux distros (e.g. libc, gtk, libc, curl, ssl etc) however do not.

      The libc (glibc) absolutely has a stable ABI. Stop spreading FUD.
