Why do I like openbsd? I used linux for several decades and it has become harder and harder to keep up with gratuitous changes and to keep my 20+ machines running and updated. The last straw was usb mounting being broken in the linux kernel for 6 months. Really! The whole linux enterprise seems to be spinning out of control as it gets jerked around by commercial interests.
OpenBSD is easy to install and use and retains some of the delightful simplicity of early days UNIX. I can mostly get done what I need to get done and I am working on the rest. The emphasis on security in this increasingly hostile digital world is certainly a plus as well.
