    About the word FOSS - Free and Open source software - this word is superfluous. The word “free software” already did the job. Oh, this is a GNU-sponsored program to replace the word “free software”, since free software must be freely used, modified and redistributed. Copyleft does not allow modified software to be redistributed, since it require derivative works to fall under that copyleft license.

    Then I cannot do static linking against a GPL-licensed library without my software also fall under GPL. But this is their intention.

    There are a lot of pretend experts these days

    You and me too. We both recommend what is trending to us.

    But I have got into OpenBSD, and you haven’t.

    There is a compatibility layer (not emulator) called WINE, which you can use to run almost any Windows program natively on Linux without issues

    WITHOUT ISSUE???

    It require the kernel to be modified. OpenBSD explicitly does not support this. But I think Linux do. It reduce Linux’s security by increasing complexity, and thus, increasing bugs.

    Running Windows binaries natively on Windows should be more stable and secure. Perhaps even if you enable Windows’s MANDACTORY_ASLR
