But thats exactly how they work currently? Google is the default search engine in firefox.

Feels kind of weird, if thats the case how did Linux come as far as it is today?

I don't know. Crowdfunding? How does Thunderbird keep it self afloat? Maybe better integration of the community as in more say in what will be developed depending on how much money you donate etc.

Taking funding from your biggest competitor is a weird business choice.

KDE at home "gaming" desktop, but would love to move away from it, for various bugs and non-working configurations. At work and home laptop I am using WMs, riverwm / i3.

Using linux hardware, pretty much one of the requirements for my job, otherwise I look elsewhere. For RDP the only downside being wayland not working with it, so you have to stay with X11.

Here just a reading comprehension for my take

Its a security focused distribution aimed at developers which want to understand the workings of an OS

On which you answered:

You’re just wrong.

So idk whats your point either.

You first sentence actually supports my previous statement, that OpenBSD is aimed at developers. :)

Why would I "untighten" the hardening and not just use an OS which is more suited to my needs? Even for privacy, which is much more relevant for normal usage, there are better alternatives to OpenBSD.

I did this once for their music player, that bug trackers is hell...I can't even find my original report, but there is enough for a lifetime: https://bugs.kde.org/buglist.cgi?component=general&product=Elisa&resolution=---

Just because people doing it doesn't mean its the best thing to do. Also how can I be wrong, you can disagree with me. Obviously I am stating my opinion on this matter. But so far I haven't seen any real arguments from your side contradicting what I said.

A bit late, but wow openbsd developers use their own distro as a desktop, you convinced me. And yes I know it might sound weird but openbsd has a special use case. Its a security focused distribution aimed at developers which want to understand the workings of an OS. Its also used as a base for some router specific operating systems.

Everybody who used OpenBSD on the desktop knows it has its shortcomings compared to any other OS if your workload extends beyond simply checking mails and surfing the web.
