That does not match my experience with obsd. It is not so much minimalism as they are not afraid to reinvent the wheel. A obsd install is full of services, more than most linux installs I have seen.
replyFor example you can imagine my disappointment when I discovered what a pain in the ass it is to get a pflow producer working on linux after doing the first one on openbsd.
I'd say it's true. They chose to not implement SMP until consumer CPUs surprised them by going multi thread.
replyAnd obsd has no Bluetooth, right? A pretty big subsystem to drop because security.
And as a counter example here you have openbsd "we are going to install a bgp daemon on every single device, because you never know when you may need one"
replyI am not complaining, I like the feeling that I could single handedly rebuild the internet using only what is found in an openbsd base install. But wow, considering the size there is a lot in there. They definitely punch above their weight.
But Bluetooth is basically a giant blast of security vulnerabilities. On the consumer side, yes, it's a big subsystem to drop, but on the server side, it's a little bit different!
replyI'm not an OpenBSD expert, but seems like you should be able to pass BT through USB and then do that in a subsystem or an isolated environment like a VM.
