I use OpenBSD on my daily driver laptop and a few other appliances. It's great, but depending on the features and software you need, might not fit your usecase. No bluetooth, no Linux compatibility layer, no WINE, smaller selection of ports, no PCI passthru... A lot of the Linux-targeted embedded and FPGA toolchain software is either unavailable or not straightforward to build on OpenBSD too.

Thanks. Do you find these limitations are device-specific, or just general OpenBSD gotchas that apply broadly?
In general. I've run into very few device-specific quirks with OpenBSD, and those only during the initial installation.
