It has been stated T2 Linux is more BSD with a GNU/Linux core than anything else: T2 has a ports collection (called package repositories), a make world (called scripts/Build-Target) and like OpenBSD prefers the disabled feature by default method. This may make OpenBSD T2’s closest relative.

I have never heard of T2, but this statement has my attention!

Congrats on the latest release.
