It's actually pretty shocking how poorly and sluggish OpenBSD performs, and it's not meaningfully more secure than a properly-configured Linux or freebsd box.

It's actually pretty shocking how poorly and sluggish OpenBSD performs, and it's not meaningfully more secure than a properly-configured Linux or freebsd box.
I'm honestly not sure what its use case is in 2025, beyond as a research OS.

- EliteGadget 10mo agoThere seem to be one group of people that seem to take offence by people being hyperbolic (which this is) and another group of people that aren't. I personally find it baffling why anyone would be bothered by that comment.
- stackghost 10mo ago>Theo has gone on record stating that it IS a research OS, which allows them to prototype new ideas like pledge(). Makes sense >before the Linux distros add all sorts of digital AIDS to it. Remind me again how the xz backdoor happened and why OpenBSD wasn't affected. Why are OpenBSD people always so rude and defensive? Sheesh
- trashb 10mo ago> Why are OpenBSD people always so rude and defensive? Sheesh Because there is a limited amount of maintainers and a clearly stated goal/direction. There are also a lot of people requesting features that don't actually contribute to the goal or don't even use OpenBSD. It is a way to manage resources. There is also the sentiment "if you need it you implement and maintain it" hence if someone is requesting without any investment it doesn't seem like they are serious.
