The fact that the OpenBSD logo has to include its name spelled out really tells you everything you need to know, doesn’t it.

Shouldn’t it then be the Linux triplets? Linux, OpenBSD and macOS?

macOS is the bastard evil child given for adoption that no one in the family will ever acknowledge.

So Wario, then? Maybe that makes Android Waluigi.

I’d say it’s more like Toad. Overly simplified, weirdly smooth and shiny.

If macos is Wario, surely iOS is waluigi?

Also, macOS is derived from FreeBSD.

It’s derived from BSD 4.3, which predates and is one of the ancestors of FreeBSD

It’s also the only desktop OS that’s actually Unix. MacOS gets official Unix certification with every major release. All other “Unixy” OSes are just “Unix-like”.

They can, and often do, use GNU tools and binaries underneath.

But do not run Linux, the kernel.

Really? They might use some GNU programs, but I’m sure the default user land for OpenBSD is all theirs. Just because you know cp etc. as GNU utils doesn’t mean the BSDs use the same ones. They are just part of the operating system. https://github.com/dcantrell/bsdutils tried to collect various BSD implementations for example

I for one prefer demon linux over fish linux. In fact, that’s how I first dipped my toes into the world of unix-ish OSes with FreeBSD 3.3.

I always figured BSD should lean into the daemon imagery with a full heavy-metal branding: a suite of wallpapers with decidedly less cuddly daemons, a succubus OS-tan character… make it the go-to Edgelord Desktop.

Then FreeBSD introduced that stupid sphere logo. No sense of branding. :P
