Linux is to main stream -> OpenBSD

NetBSD is love, NetBSD is life.

What benefits do you have using Unix over Linux?

[–] heimchen@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I don't think OpenBSD is Unix, both unix like. For a usecase, I don't know if there even is a scenario where you would want OpenBSD as a desktop user, other than preference. I guess it would feel a bit like gentoo.

What benefit would it have as a server or anything else compared to Linux? I'm not in the biz so I really don't know.
