Either you are prompting it wrong, or you got unlucky, or you are stuck on GPT3.5 still and it’s less capable compared to GPT4 than I remember.

> OpenBSD is known for its strong emphasis on security, simplicity, and code correctness. Here's a brief list of five aspects where OpenBSD is often considered superior to Linux:
> 1. Security by Default: OpenBSD is renowned for its security-oriented design. The system is configured with secure defaults, and security features are integrated directly into the core system, not as add-ons.
> 2. Code Quality and Audit: The OpenBSD project places a high priority on clean, readable, and well-documented code. Regular code audits are conducted to identify and fix security vulnerabilities and bugs.
> 3. Integrated Cryptography: OpenBSD includes various cryptographic tools and libraries as part of its base system, making it easier to implement secure applications.
> 4. Pf (Packet Filter): OpenBSD's native firewall, pf, is highly regarded for its flexibility and efficiency. It's often considered more straightforward and powerful than iptables, commonly used in Linux.
> 5. Documentation and Man Pages: OpenBSD’s documentation, especially its man pages, is extensive and well-maintained. It provides detailed and up-to-date information on system commands, configurations, and daemons.
> It's important to note that while OpenBSD excels in these areas, the choice between OpenBSD and Linux depends on specific use cases and personal preferences.
And then for the cons, flip the question around and ask ChatGPT for a list of five ways in which Linux is superior over OpenBSD. (Left as an exercise for the reader.)
