Depends on the VM system. Full blown virtualization add complexity and attack surface. Running vmless[0] could be even better if you trust the design of the isolation enough.

Or the value of not running linux everywhere.
The Apple Powerbook G3 PDQ is by and far the best laptop ever, indeed. Modular, easy to repair and even the CPU is on a swappable board. A breath of fresh air in the world of soldered in components!

Or like the trend is nowadays, ask Claude to wash it into rust which also lets one to relieve it of the burden of GPL. That's the gift of corporate AI.
Except GPL is done too when anyone can license wash FOSS to public domain via Claude and friends.
Just to end up connecting to NetBuster.
The license of choice seems a bit strange considering it's created by a machine. Shouldn't CC0 be a lot more appropriate in this case?

So... a language model?

Maybe they are not that smart, after all?

Because the common user for some strange reason has come to prefer phablets to mobile phones.
Furthermore, can one use custom API endpoint or is it forced use of corpo AI?

Furthermore, do they ship only to the US or can those racks be bought elsewhere too?

So pretty much only GPU compute (CUDA) and exotic peripherals?
I don't see any ports dependency issues as there's been binary packages available forever. Even the install process is a lot faster than any linux I have to use at $work, not to mention easier to automate with autoinstall[0] if needed.

Not necessarily. Zones in illumos (and Solaris before) were designed from ground up to be secure in multitenant workloads[0]. It's quite different from the duct tape style[1] of linux containerization.

[1]Tape different things together and see if it holds.
Not counting GPU compute, what exactly is OpenBSD not useful for?
Try illumos with zones. We run all critical services on SmartOS nowadays. Even linux bhyve VMs get confined inside a zone.
At a $company we were planning deploying TrueNAS as our new main NAS system. Then this happened and now everything is running OmniOS.

Which is worrying as there's a high risk of linux EEE breaking portability.

..running on illumos.
