#2Sweet, I was just wondering when 7.9 would release. And with a song! We haven't gotten one of those in a while iirc

#3A song released with it too! So much care for OpenBSD.

#4BSDs are interesting projects. As I understand it there's a broad difference of them all doing things reasonably well but a) Free is general-purpose, b) Net is especially portable/many architecture and Open is security focused

OpenBSD's primary purpose is to create artwork (https://www.openbsd.org/artwork.html), releasing an OS is a side project.

FreeBSD is mainly server focused. There's been work on the desktop recently, but it isn't what FreeBSD devs are paid to focus on. To be fair to the people paying them, it's a damn good server OS.
Also, check out DragonflyBSD. It has a really nice filesystem and Dillon does good work

I always wanted to get into bsd, especially openbsd. I like the idea of a more cohesive os.
But I don't really know what to use it for to get started. My desktop runs linux with steam for games. My AI server needs rocm drivers so ubuntu-server. My vps runs debian, maybe that one, but there is no DO image for BSD. Open for ideas..

OpenBSD for the layer where you need the highest security. We use it for hosting our Postgres clusters. You could easily use it for your VPS. There is a learning curve. But if you’re already comfortable with Linux you’ll pick it up in a few hours.

#10Anyone here using OpenBSD? If so, for what purpose?
I’ve always wanted to use NetBSD for an application for an embedded system / IoT device but never had the pleasure (yet!).
