Hello Marcel,
I consider to use OpenBSD. It is highly suckless and can be used as main
operating system.

I'm pretty sure that nearly all UNIX systems have text editors in it :)
It is available in OBSD.

Seemingly, Wayland is now Linux-only stuff, so it is not available in any other
UNIX systems.

Now I use Debian GNU/Linux because:
1. I need some WIFI drivers that *BSD systems don't support.
2. I am forced to use some systemd-related programs.
I would switch to OBSD if there were no such problems.

However, after a thorough examination of the Linux kernel and recent decisions made by the Gentoo Linux council, I am contemplating switching to a different operating system. I am particularly interested in finding the most UNIX-like operating system available in 2024, which does not necessarily have to be Linux-based.
