sorry if i offend you but i tried void linux and its kinda close to openbsd and many important for me packages werent avaible and i think openbsd has even less packages? sorry for my ignorance
Oh, I see. My apologies. I couldn't quite understand what you were saying back there.
Yes, there are a few packages missing. Notably, Micro, Mullvad Browser, and Librewolf are not in the repo or ports tree. I am also having trouble building mle from source, and of course things like Steam will probably never be available.
However, there are plenty of packages that can be substitutes for a lot of Linux software.
i love bsd vibes but i would have to spend so much time when i just wanna do my work, i think you know ;) Void linux was little bit too much for me so i cant imagine openbsd, actually im trying artix and i love some bsd-like things like doas instead of sudo, something other than NetworkManager, seatd turnstile acpid dinit runit etc...
I think they wanted to kow, whether you had any trouble using openbsd as a daily driver. Like missing software, libraries or other misc. packages that are not available on openBSD, when compared to other OSs.

Old hardware. Maybe I could have run River, but in my experience this machine doesn't like Wayland.
Also, Xenocara is pretty good. More secure than Xorg.

Have you find yet anything that blocks you like you dont have some packages or anything on openbsd?
