OpenBSD 7.5 has hit the streets (or servers and workstations), and it comes with a metric ton of improvements and new features. Of course, the kernel has been improved in countless ways, from symmetric multiprocessing improvements to a new font usable as a console font. The graphics drivers have been updated to match Linux 6.6.19, and drivers for the Apple display coprocessor were added. Furthermore, a whole slew of additional ARM boards and SoC are now supported, and new drivers for a variety of networking chips, both wired and wireless, were added as well.
Of course, that’s just a selection of the changes, and the full changelog lists them all for those of you with specific wishes.
Awesome, the spring releases seem to be getting here sooner every year! My favorite will always be 6.7 because it was on my birthday, but I’m glad to see 7.5 drop just in time for the weekend! I’m off to sysupgrade my HP desktop, brb.

Twitter… in this day and age? LOLL
Yes. Other platforms are extremely far left and disconnected from reality where you must only espouse correct talking points in the correct fashion – a simultaneous nanny state & straight jacket for the mind.
