According to https://openai.com/index/patch-the-planet/

Linux: 24 LPEs, plus many additional vulnerabilities.

OpenBSD: 1 LPE.

FreeBSD: 7 LPEs, plus many additional vulnerabilities.

Not sure what that says, though. Perhaps the models are more likely to find Linux issues because of the training.

Or Linux development is significantly more active.

It is quite possible that Linux is the bigger target so it gets more focus. Vulnerabilities there are generally considered more valuable and notable. It would be very difficult to use these numbers to get a meaningful "more secure" stance as there are tons of variables.
