Description

Arch Linux is a self-sufficient, x86-64 general-purpose GNU/Linux distribution that aims to deliver the most current stable software versions through a rolling-release approach. Its standard installation offers a bare-minimum base system, allowing users to customize their setup by installing only the necessary components. The philosophy of Arch Linux emphasizes simplicity, defined as the absence of unnecessary enhancements or alterations. The distribution provides software as originally released by upstream developers, minimizing downstream modifications, and avoiding patches that are not accepted upstream; any changes made are predominantly backported bug fixes that will be addressed in the next release. Furthermore, Arch includes the configuration files from upstream, with changes limited to specific distribution needs, such as modifying file paths within the system. Notably, Arch does not incorporate automation features like automatically enabling services upon package installation, thereby maintaining user control over their environment. This approach allows users to tailor their systems closely to their needs, fostering a deeper understanding and appreciation of their operating system.

Description

The OpenBSD operating system is entirely developed by a community of volunteers. Funding for the development environment and various developer events is sourced through donations managed by The OpenBSD Foundation. These contributions play a vital role in ensuring the longevity and accessibility of OpenBSD as a free operating system. As a result, the OpenBSD project has integrated cryptographic features in multiple areas throughout the system. We insist that all cryptographic software utilized must be available without cost and come with favorable licenses. Direct use of cryptography encumbered by problematic patents is strictly avoided. Additionally, we prioritize sourcing such software from countries that offer favorable export regulations, as we are committed to adhering to international laws. Our decision-making process remains focused on technical excellence, avoiding political influences whenever possible. Ultimately, this commitment to both free software and legal compliance underscores the integrity of the OpenBSD project.
