It just works. No need to sift through dozens of config files and options and issue a hundred verbose commands just to get the system in a somewhat working state. All my laptop’s buttons work correctly out of the box. And it didn’t even come at the cost of sprawling complexity maintained by a patchwork of corpo patrons, underpaid code monkeys, and forum users. The system just fits together very well. The documentation is amazing too.
Easily my favorite Unix. If Linux was too complicated or barebones for you, give OpenBSD a try!
That’s the impression I got when I tried it. pmOS with plasma was nice but most apps just didn’t suit the screen size and touch screen. Plus running it off an sd card was slow as hell.
