I mean, there's no denying that the Linux ecosystem is a mess from a cohesion perspective, but I think it's a bit unfair to come to this conclusion without taking more into account. As far as server operating systems go, nothing is more battletested than Linux today, and nothing really has a more complete offering.

OpenBSD is great, of course, but my favorite thing about open source is the cross collaboration. Rather than dump literal decades of constant refinement to Linux and it's ecosystem because OpenBSD is much more elegant seems unwise. There are things Linux and the general Linux stacks could learn from OpenBSD (and should.)

I don't think the world would be better if OpenBSD were in the position Linux is in today (though I have a hunch the security story around FOSS stacks would be better.) I think there is a lot of good that Linux can do with its more fast-and-loose organizational structure.
