After two weeks of testing:

  • Simple, yet many things work.
  • Install defaults
  • OpenBSD mailing lists
  • driver management
  • wifi setup
    -/+ manual patching

  • Freebsd handbook
  • Vast port collection
  • Wifi works right after install
  • Upgrade / automated patching
  • Laptop media keys not working by default
    -/+ Ports building

OpenBSD would be my goto for older machines or server, FreeBSD has enough ports to be usable as daily driver. Looking forward to test it on newer PCs!

@requiem Yeah I'm starting to see that too. For personal use, I could definitely make OpenBSD work. Keeping it simple and sticking to defaults.

For work, that's a different story, I occasionally need proprietary garbage software that's very hard to run on OpenBSD (tried it). On Freebsd there's at least port (or even old one) that helps with manual build.
