From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

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 never claimed that OpenBSD was aimed at the Average Joe, though.
So whats your point?
Here just a reading comprehension for my take
On which you answered:
So idk whats your point either.
