Congrats on another great release! The predictable "add 0.1 every 6 months" functions as a nice reminder of how long I've been running OpenBSD, since 2018 (6.4) when I decided to start hosting my website on an openbsd vps.
I like all BSDs, but in particular what I like about OpenBSD is the level polish. Small details like the default font size actually being readable on my hi-res screen, to the very simple installer, to everything working OOB, is very nice. It helps that I tend to like most of the userspace applications that comes out of OpenBSD (and of course pledge/unveil). It's very opiniated, but I think I align somewhat closely with it's views, because out of all OSes out there it's the one with my favorite "defaults".
I'm excited to see how the new TCP improvements fare, and if it leads to any significant performance boost.
