Haven't they had some embarrassing RCEs in the not too distant past? It kind of calls into question the significance of that claim about holes "in the default install" - even Windows ships without any services exposed these days.
Ultimately, they suffer from a lack of developer resources.
Which is a shame because it's a wonderfully integrated system (as opposed to the tattered quilt that is every Linux distro). But I suspect it's the project leadership that keeps more people away.
- user3939382 1y agoI’ve found the OpenBSD community to have a bad/snobbish attitude which could just be a coincidence, no idea. I’ve always liked NetBSD which I never had that problem with.
