OpenBSD 7.9 was already on the 6.18.y longterm support version, Jonathan Gray (jsg@) completed the update back in March of this year, sponsored by the OpenBSD Foundation.

I just wanted to highlight his continued efforts in my hype post for the upcoming 8.0 release.

There are parts of me that don't want to say this but will LLMs actually help Linux and smaller OSes by accelerating reverse engineering hardware that doesn't have open/good enough specs? Will we reach a point where hibernate works reliably on Linux? Weird hardware can be used well by FreeBSD?

This should make the anti-AI schizos happy as they are looking for every reason to leave Linux.

Now if they would only get rid of their hilariously unreliable 1970s file system.
