OpenBSD is much easier to install and get working than any of the Linux distros you mentioned. Post install configuration might take all of an hour, and it's secure by default, unlike those mentioned.
And by "post install configuration," I mean adding XFCE or other DE or WM, along with whatever apps you like. No tweaking needed to close security holes.
- snazz 7y agoThere’s a bit of silliness with resource limits (that I think should be configured to match the user’s hardware or at least mentioned in the installer), but overall I agree completely. The base system includes a couple of window managers, including CWM which is quite nice. On a laptop you have to enable APM, but after that you’re just about done. I’d say it’s about equivalent to a simple Arch install on easy hardware, although OpenBSD comes with quite a bit more security stuff pre-configured.
