I installed OpenBSD about 10 years ago and have used nothing else on my personal computers since then. It does occasionally have breaking changes in its updates, but they never happen without you taking action to initiate them.

The idea that we're OK with random popups, feature promotions, nags to use this or that or enable some setting, and outright advertising on our computers is just mind-boggling.

Why did you choose this very OS? Considering there are many of BSDs and Linux as well.

OpenBSD tends to be minimalist and pragmatic. I’ve used it before, it’s a good no-nonsense OS.

Yes. I've decided to switch from Linux to BSD for various reasons. That's going to be a slow switch, though -- I have a lot of machines that need to addressed.
