Love the man pages, love doas (I use it on my main linux machine), love that it has an HTTP server in the main install. But the filesystem is so basic that people recommend a UPS just so your data doesn't get corrupted during a power outage.
I hope OpenBSD gets some corporate love one day, because that's probably the only way you're going to get a modern file system written for it.
- Pay08 3y agoI tried using doas but I don't get it. On the one hand there's some inertia with everything on Linux expecting sudo, on the other, the claims about speed, simplicity and simpler configuration rang pretty hollow to me. Especially since I believe doas can't do things like custom logging.
- LAC-Tech 3y agoTBH I mainly just like it because the configuration file is a single line. It also never even occured to me for sudo or doas to log anything, so there's that. Also, I don't have sudo installed at all on my system, and everything seems to work fine with doas. YMMV.
- binkHN 3y agoIf I recall correctly, the main reason for its existence was due to the recurring security issues with sudo. doas was designed to be a more simple tool with a smaller attack surface.
