OpenBSD

I have been using OpenBSD for a while now (a previous millenium) and more recently OpenBSD as a desktop. There is also an OpenBSD virt to host some internet services, such as this gemini capsule. The 2009 Macbook died in late 2022, so it's OpenBSD only for now! (I eventually got a new Macbook, and boy howdy has what passes for Mac OS X these days gone downhill. Smartphone related brain drain?)

There was some noise about journaling filesystems on openbsd-misc recently. Pretty much all the linux filesystems have failed on me somehow—XFS? liked to set itself to read-only randomly—ReiserFS? corruption—ext3? could not fsck, the server did not have enough memory. OpenBSD? The filesystem is slow, but it has not gotten up to shenanigans like anything on linux has.

ZFS and do you have backups?
