Why choose OpenBSD over FreeBSD? Any noticeable differences? I know it’s supposed to be a more security focused BSD but I hear it has fewer maintainers? The idea of a BSD appeals to me but the hardware compatibility holds me back. Just curious what your experience is like
Personally, I have had a lot of trouble. But I hear from others that it is a very good experience, so it depends on the person. I started using OpenBSD, because I thought it sounded like an interesting endeavour, and I've never bothered to switch away.

Lol. Too bad the Gentoo Wiki is the best wiki in existence (and its not even close).
Edit: Oh no, its a joke!
Edit 2: Oh wait a minute... This is my OpenBSD rice; not my Gentoo rice lmao
