    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.
