If you&amp;#x27;ve ever thought that you might prefer to have an indefinitely supported version of Windows 7 because Windows 10 seems to be crawling with gratuitous changes, bugs, and dubious &amp;quot;features&amp;quot;, the appeal is a bit like the Unix equivalent of that.</text></comment>

And people who like security (though OpenBSD has detractors). It was used a lot as firewall for critical infrastructure a few years ago, perhaps still is.&lt;p&gt;Also, installation was quite fast if you knew what you were doing.</text></comment>
