Sending money annually to OpenBSD myself, as the operating system brings me a lot of joy for how integrated and predictable it is. Sending money to Sourcehut, although that is not a donation, and FreeBSD in the past.

Patched in OpenBSD 5.5 [1] which was released in 2014. Patches were upstreamed into software in the ports tree, so hopefully that made life a little bit easier for other operating systems. Linux seems to have followed around 2020. [1]: htt

I think it depends greatly on your use case. Mine has been OpenBSD on a bare-metal server, VPS, old laptop (N3540), and underpowered desktop (x7425E). For day-to-day desktop work, even the old laptop keeps up and the underpowered desktop fe
