I daily drive OpenBSD on a Thinkpad x220 for side gigs/personal use. The drawbacks: * Hardware support is great for me because I use a Thinkpad: most OBSD devs use Thinkpads as their laptops. I tried on a work-issued Dell and the driver support wasn't there + some odd kernel panics happened. Target "current generation - 1" and you'll likely have less to worry about. * Expect performance to take a hit – every so often Chrome exhibits graphical tearing, slows down, etc. The pages I frequent don't tend to cause this issue, but if your browsing is JS to the max you might have some headaches. * You'll find tons of packages, but should expect support to be lagging behind Linux. Just a function of adoption, really. Additionally, OBSD compiles some packages with security functionality that isn't present in other OSes, so expect a SIGABRT or two that you might otherwise not see. Really though, it depends on your needs. It fits mine perfectly.
