- kristjank 3y agoOpenBSD is mainly used where other Unices can be used, and provides widely used software like OpenSSH, OpenBGPD and OpenSMTPD. To say that it's a hobby project strikes me as very ignorant. That said, it is not very easy to convince the developers that a function is missing because it's a pretty opinionated project, and they might not share the user's definition of needed functionality. Thankfully, they're nowhere near ebassi levels of functionality deletion disorder.
- PrimeMcFly 3y ago> OpenBSD is mainly used where other Unices can be used, That's a pretty general statement, and I'd say to that not really. It's very much a hobbyist OS. A few people use it at home as firewalls, a few small businesses maybe, but it's mostly hobbyists and developers. > To say that it's a hobby project strikes me as very ignorant. I mean, I've been familiar with the project for over 20 years, so I don't think I'm ignorant at all. The developers primarily make the OS for themselves and people with the same ideas and priorities. > That said, it is not very easy to convince the developers that a function is missing because it's a pretty opinionated project, and they might not share the user's definition of needed functionality. Right, the devs prioritize their own needs, and can do so because it's a hobbyist OS.
