In my experience recovery on OpenBSD is so much nicer than Linux and part of
that is separate statically built programs in /bin /sbin. I have quite often
found I have to use a boot usb on Linux as the recovery mode wouldn't let me but
never on OpenBSD where single user often works and if that fails boot the
ramdisk. Rather than fixing this they seem to be pushing horrid immutable Linux.
Ironically Linux has LVM so running out of space should be less annoying than on
OpenBSD.
