Linux and OpenBSD are both open-source operating systems, but there are some key differences between them:

Philosophy: OpenBSD prioritizes security and privacy, while Linux prioritizes customization and versatility.

Package Management: Linux uses a variety of package managers, including apt, yum, and dnf, while OpenBSD uses its own package management system, called "pkg".

Systemd: Linux uses systemd as its default init system, while OpenBSD uses a minimalist init system called "rc".

Default software: OpenBSD includes a smaller selection of default software, with a focus on security, while Linux includes a wide range of software, with a focus on versatility.

License: Linux uses the GPL license, while OpenBSD uses its own license, called the ISC license, which places emphasis on ensuring that code contributions are free of proprietary or encumbered code.

Development: Linux is developed by a large community of volunteers and corporate entities, while OpenBSD is developed by a small team of volunteers.

Hardware support: Linux supports a wide range of hardware, while OpenBSD has a smaller selection of supported hardware, but with a focus on ensuring that it runs well on that hardware.
