OpenBSD Enables GPU‑Backed VMs

OpenBSD 8.0 adds large virtual address mapping (4 GB → 512 GB), updated DRM drivers (Linux 6.18.53), Intel Arc GPU support, and expanded RISC‑V and virtualization features, making a security‑focused BSD viable for GPU‑accelerated and high‑vCPU virtual machine workloads. Those changes lower a technical barrier that previously pushed GPU and AI work toward Linux‑centric stacks. — This matters because broadening non‑Linux OS support for GPUs and modern virtualization shifts incentives around vendor lock‑in, national/enterprise compute sovereignty, and the security posture of AI/compute infrastructure.
