100%. I put off learning/using OpenBSD for a decade until a breach at a client (we weren’t responsible for DevOps/SysAdmin) made me pick it up because I don’t have time to be a full-time Linux Sysadmin anymore. Just want the servers to run without having to think about them. Wish I’d done it sooner. Lost at lot of time on Linux, Docker, K8s, etc. that I could have skipped completely with OpenBSD. Our servers are an order of magnitude simpler now, just single services per VM and I sleep better. ;-) | |||||||||||||||||

> ...I don’t have time to be a full-time Linux Sysadmin anymore. Just want the servers to run without having to think about them... Very salient comment there! And, while not the only reason for me, but what you noted is sort of one reason that's triggering the itch in me to go back to playing with the BSDs. Don't get me wrong, I still do love fiddling around with some areas of linux once in a while....but then, there are other uses/areas where i just want a server to do its thing, and for my maintenance to be a little less (at least less than some linux distros require). So maybe i'm not the only one? :-) | |||||||||||||||||
