Tried installing my first non-linux unix the other day. Here are some impressive things about #openbsd :

- Partitions. ~By default, files aren't allowed to be both writable and executable. So `chmod 777` only works in /usr/local~ EDIT: apparently I misunderstood this one.

- The man pages are way more complete than many linux distros. `man afterboot` and `man 8 intro` are great.

- Nice unified service management without the complexity of systemd

- There's a CLI that'll just make RAID volumes for you.

- Nothing more complex than it needs to be. No openssl, only libressl. No sudo, only doas.

- The kernel drivers for recording audio and video by default only record silence and blackness. You need to make a sysctl.conf change if you want to un-blind your laptop. This is both privacy-conscious and hella goth.
