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

I'm-a sorry FISH from unix_surrealism
This pic goes hard
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
Parts of it are. The kernel is derived from a Mach microkernel (an experimental kernel in the 80s, which was theoretically supposed to allow different OS personalities to coexist in the same system, sharing resources; macOSβ Darwin/XNU kernel doesnβt implement this capability in full, but you do get the Mach Ports interprocess communication mechanism, and a BSD UNIX personality permanently attached).
Yes, and the FreeBSD kernel is also derived from it, but they both formed out of that. One to form NeXT mach and the other Net, which forked to NetBSD and FreeBSD. But macOS Mach isn't derived from the FreeBSD fork.
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".
Meh. It's a nice bragging right, but that's all it is at this point. Linux killed off almost all the old Unix vendors for a reason.
They're not Linux though?
BSD/openBSD ain't either.
I'm sorry you feel that way about fish Linux
That's the joke.
I know, it just seems like we're moving in the opposite direction of correctness.
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
GNU+XNU
Or as I've started to call it, GNU minus Linix
That's the joke.
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
BDSM BSD FTW!
OPNSense usually puts some song verses with their release notes.
Also a BSD-based project.
Indeed.
freeBSD is satan linux
What is OpenBSD? /genq
A FreeBSD fork focused on security.
It's actually split from NetBSD. The code diverged when Theo got kicked out.
Cutefish OS wants to know your location
Should have been named fishball instead of B-something
yo fish used in linux somtimes tho to connect
