OpenBSD is probably the best OS in existence security-wise, that is one of its main goals.[1] If we only focus on the OS and software that comes with it, OpenBSD has better policies about clean and secure code than (GNU/)Linux, and constant auditing of its kernel and core programs. Programs from ports run more or less the same on every OS (OpenBSD, like (GNU/)Linux, has its own patches for them), with the exception that OpenBSD provides a more secure environment in which they run. Mechanisms like randomized malloc(3), W^X, privilege separation, pledge(2) and unveil(2) are just some of the features which separate OpenBSD from other Unix-like OSes.
