According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LibreSSL#Adoption Alpine
Linux, DragonFly BSD and OpenBSD are affected.
https://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=openbsd still suggests
that OpenBSD ships with OpenSSL 1.0.2l. Not sure if that is true, though.

All other distributions either have only OpenSSL (CentOS, Debian,
Fedora, RHEL, Ubuntu), OpenSSL as default (Gentoo, FreeBSD) or none
(Windows, macOS). NetBSD seems to support both.
