alt Hacker NewsFor me, the only drawback for corporations is the 6 month upgrade. There is no LTS on OpenBSD.
I use OpenBSD as a workstation and it works great, but in a production environment I doubt I would use OpenBSD for critical items, mainly because no LTS.
It is a sad state of affairs because Companies do not want nor will want a system you need to upgrade so often even if its security very good.

Yet companies insist on enabling unattended upgrades at least for "security" patches, which have introduced breakage or even their own vulnerabilities in the past (Crowdstrike was a recent dramatic example).
OpenBSD will just tell you that maintaining an LTS release is not one of their goals and if that's what you need you'll be better served by running another OS.
On the other hand though, updates on OpenBSD are the most painless updates I have ever done. I am more concerned about it's usage of UFS instead of something more robust for drives.
