I've done a lot of OS upgrades in my life... and I have to say, OpenBSD does it better than any I've ever seen...

Literally just `doas sysupgrade` and bam, you have an updated system 5 mins later. The post-upgrade steps are unsurprisingly straightforward for most systems (https://www.openbsd.org/faq/upgrade79.html).

@ianthetechie Hey, I might end up giving OpenBSD a try! Does it spoil its users the same way FreeBSD users are spoilt by pkg upgrade, or Debian GNU/Linux users by apt-get ev'rything?
Gotta find out what kind of hardware it can bear.

@deadknight yup it’s pretty similar to both in the package installer. Though I’m not sure what “spoiled” means here 😂 The only non-hobbyist OS without a package manager I can remember was Gentoo at one point.

@deadknight my usage is in a VM at @OpenBSDAms so I can’t comment on hardware support much.
