Table Notes and Explanations

(Please refer to the table below.)
  • Select view:
  • To compare the software in this project to the software available in other distributions, please see our Compare Packages page.
  • Notes: In case where multiple versions of a package are shipped with a distribution, only the default version appears in the table. For indication about the GNOME version, please check the "nautilus" and "gnome-shell" packages. The Apache web server is listed as "httpd" and the Linux kernel is listed as "linux". The KDE desktop is represented by the "plasma-desktop" package and the Xfce desktop by the "xfdesktop" package.
  • Colour scheme: green text = latest stable version, red text = development or beta version. The function determining beta versions is not 100% reliable due to a wide variety of versioning schemes.

OpenBSD is a Unix decedent and perfect if you want to setup a minimal OS. It's not supposed to be a high performance powerhouse like Gentoo. Over the past several months of using OpenBSD on and off, I've come to really love this OS. It doesn't have all the toys Linux does but for my needs it's perfect.

I wouldn't recommend this to someone who wants a quick and easy OS like Linux Mint. OpenBSD is not for beginners. There's lots of things you have to do manually such as setting up wi-fi with a config file or mounting an external usb via the terminal. There is no WINE, STEAM, or watching Netflix/Amazon Prime video on OpenBSD.

It ‘s a secure little Unix box for hobbyists, hackers, and minimalists.

Pros
simple
great for building a minimal OS
installation is straight forward
comes with X11 drivers
a hacker's dream OS
comes with fvwm, cwm, and twm
security driven OS

Cons
slow
no wine, steam, or netflix
uses a lot of ram
manually setting up everything
not ideal for daily driving

I'm not an IT professional but I've been using opensource only since January 1, 2000. Many years of different Linux distributions. I learned a lot in the process. Then I tried *BSD. I stuck with OpenBSD and have been using it as a home server, as a firewall router system, as a desktop system (kde plasma is possible, but i prefer lightweights) and on my laptops for a long time. I am very happy with it. It completely meets my needs. The installation is very quick. As is almost always the case, you are well advised to find out the supported hardware. Thanks to the development team.
