Why are you typing "(TM)" after "Good"? I've seen other examples of this. Phrases like "A Good Thing! (TM)" or "Good (TM) Distribution". What does it mean?

It "sloganizes" the phrase before it to prop it up as somehow official/authoritative (as though it were trademarked), often with ironic intent. In this case, "People who make decisions know that Linux is Good™" indicates an idea with mindshare and hints at an underlying dogma or cliché.

Yep, what ics said :-).

Basically, I think OpenBSD is a good operating system. It has a clean architecture, great code quality, and I am fond of its engineering principles.

I don't think it's Good (TM) -- there are things that other operating systems do better, and I don't think its engineering principles apply everywhere.

I admire its design, but I don't try to emulate it in any system I build.
