Why do I like openbsd?
I used linux for several decades and it has become harder and harder
to keep up with gratuitous changes and to keep my 20+ machines running
and updated. The last straw was usb mounting being broken in the
linux kernel for 6 months. Really! The whole linux enterprise

1.5 years ago I decided to remove Windows 10 from my home notebook.
Why not Linux? I have own experience in using Linux distros for work/home

That is a long story,
I first switched to BSD around 2010,
I was just a kid with a Netbook
running on a VIA C7-M.
I was pissed at lack of open source drivers
and wanted to code my own

The Ubuntu and general Linux boards
back then where full of script kiddies

What motivates me to stay on OpenBSD is that I want the free desktop concept to
work. This system + Arcan + GNOME-like interface seems, to me, like an
compelling way to get there. I hope I can shoehorn this project into my life
and then reality in some fashion.

Stallman's moral arguments are compelling. Theo's moral arguments are
impeccable.
There is more Unix tradition in OpenBSD than there is in any modern Posix
compliant system, where most projects change their interface needlessly,
OpenBSD is a classic where much documentation is in effect timeless.

For what it may be worth, I found xfce very usable and clean, even for someone
used to Windows 7 (my wife and some others required very little or no help, as
far as the GUI goes anyway). More recently, I took the time to learn about
tmux and fvwm and to customize their configs to my tastes,

I'm still learning openBSD, but I like the project's idea to build software
with security in mind.Also, PF seems pretty good and I'm willing to learn it

I first started using it around version 4.3. I was trying BSD's after
using Linux for a bit, and tried FreeBSD first.
But OpenBSD was the only one that supported my laptop's WiFi card. And
getting everything running was much less of a hassle.
It's the best BSD for getting a fine workstation
I decided to move away from Windows and I needed to setup a web and

unsatisfied. Then I accidentally ran into OpenBSD website.
That was exactly what I wanted.

I enjoy using it because of it's clean design.
It's easy to upgrade. I'm never worried that upgrading will break something. As
far as BSD's go it's the easiest to get a desktop going. Since x is in base you
just have to do a few pkg_add's. And those packages will be built the way you
expect 9 out of 10 times.

Of all the things that naturally pull me towards BSD, I can not think of
anything that OpenBSD does better than the other BSD's.
OpenBSD community is formed around the idea of doing things in a simple but
correct manner; the community also rejects all stupid ideas that many
others may accept because it is a bit more convenient. That's a good
community to learn from.
A community that got a good taste for sensible ideas.

I use OpenBSD because it can do everything I want it to do and it’s easy to
use.

(I am not sure why you would imagine that using OpenBSD implies not
using other operating systems. It's *because* I use other operating
systems that I like using OpenBSD.)
