FreeBSD versus OpenBSD ?
 

Hello,

Let's talk and compare the BSD operating systems:
FreeBSD versus OpenBSD ?

Possible points of comparison:
- Softwares,
- Compilers,
- Unix Tradition,
- ...
- Distros,
- Wayland,
- Systemd,
...
- Performances,
- Support / Forum,
- Community,
- Others / Misc.

I have experimented both, but am not knowledgeable to comment on most of the items you mention. The most significant difference that I noticed is that OpenBSD is more GUI-oriented than FreeBSD, but not so much so as TruOS (was PCBSD).

I believe that both of them use standard BSD style scripts. I was researching SystemD (that's a fancy way of saying I watched some tutorials on YouTube) and SystemD is very much a Linux thing. (The most useful SystemD videos I have found so far are by this fellow.)

Wikipedia has an article comparing the various BSDs.

Sorry, but I have to disagree with the above, there are a lot of ex Linux users now using FreeBSD with desktop environments than OpenBSD, & probably more NetBSD users as well.

OpenBSD can certainly run desktops, but the majority of users use the command line a lot more & use startx for when they need a graphics environment, which often just runs a Window Manager.

Most BSD users create the system that they themselves want, so there aren't a lot of different versions like there is in Linux.
FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, & DragonflyBSD are the base systems, anything else will be based on one of those, the majority(?) use FreeBSD as a base.

Here is a blog post about using OpenBSD after leaving OS X: http://mndrix.blogspot.com/2017/05/s...o-openbsd.html

OS X was ok but peaked with Snow Leopard

I suggest reading up on the various projects, then maybe repost your thread with more relevant questions/topics.
