Don't you just hate when you wind up in a store with people who are in a socioeconomic class that is pretty obviously about two levels lower than your own?

did a sysupgrade today and it reminded me that install/upgrade is still the least painless on OpenBSD compared to all the other operating systems i have to janitor

open and free bsd makes me assume there must also be a libre bsd by now because the thing the open source community is best at is forking existing projects to be more pure and the thing it's second best at is reusing the same embarrassing epithets of every other open source project

i have the exact opposite opinion and i built a whole ansible bootstrap thing to install openbsd vms so i can just replace them and never have to upgrade an openbsd ever again

linux is very forkophilic, yes - and this has had a somewhat oursized effect on other parts of the opensource community, but the bsds are kinda the exception

they don't tend to fork unless there's a serious ideological schism and some people really don't get along as a result; see deraadt creating openbsd after his commit bit got taken away for netbsd, and dillon creating dragonflybsd after his commit bit got taken away for freebsd

most of the rest are basically just consuming one of the bsds and treating it like linux distributions treat linux - but they're kinda rare and usually have a very small committer count

my install process for freebsd consists of ipxe booting an image, partitioning the disk, creating a zpool, and grabbing a zfs replication stream with the entire os as well as boot environments for updates plus whatever custom software i included in the image when i built it.
after that, i just set which boot environment i want to boot into (typically the newest one), and reboot once.

once it comes time to upgrade, i grab the newest replication stream, and reboot once.

if any install or upgrade fails, the system will usually bring itself back up into a working state (or back to the installer) thanks to watchdogd(8) or an IPMI watchdog
