Nothing, but openbsd is amazing and just works. Anyone still using Linux on the desktop in 2026 should switch.

"Just don't use X" doesn't solve any problems in any space, unfortunately.

Plus, it's an avoidant and reductionist take.

Note: I have nothing against BSDs, but again, this is not the answer.

(I like OpenBSD, but) It is extremely hard to compete with Linux on hardware support / driver coverage.

I like the GPL for the kernel, so I wouldn't switch.
