&quot;I think the biggest takeaway from this is the amount of poorly thought out software that exists there which assumes that Linux is the only unix.&quot;<p>That&#x27;s true. The biggest takeaway, though, is the assumption that people will care to port mainstream software to OpenBSD when virtually nobody using that software runs OpenBSD &amp; their community discourages amateur programmers. It&#x27;s not a wise expectation. Instead, they should expect to have to port it all themselves to their particular OS of choice while being thankful when people do it for them with great portability.<p>In that case, you&#x27;d have a bunch of semi-functional desktops out there running OpenBSD with a ton of features and options on Linux desktops. (Pauses.) Exactly what happened.
