When the question comes up, "Why OpenBSD?" one answer is ease of maintenance.
Patches are announced on the OpenBSD.org website at https://www.openbsd.org/errata76.html and on the openbsd.announce mailing list https://marc.info/?l=openbsd-announce&r=1&w=2
All you do to update is:
$ doas syspatch
It's very quick.
And for packages, it's:
$ doas pkg_add -u
And for a new release, which happens twice a year:
$ doas sysupgrade
(followed by doas pkg_add -u
)
So easy!
I just applied the latest OpenBSD 7.6 patch. Also had (yet another) Intel firmware update.
