As pointed out by awesome folks in the thread and as I'm looking things up in my half awake state of mind in the middle of the night...
- OpenBSD doesn't really use systemd
- It has an awesome approach to development
- I can run Bash on it (I live in Bash)
- Most of my common pentest tools run on it, often maintain in native packages
- Most of my common household tools run on it (looking up how many are maintained in packages)
- I can run my favorite Desktop Environments in it.
I guess the last question would be what's the state of OpenBSD gaming and is this the year of OpenBSD Desktop?! 😂
(No, seriously, can I run Steam in OpenBSD? Is there Proton or Proton-like emulation / compatibility layer for running Windows games in OpenBSD?!?!?!)

No joy on much gaming on OpenBSD but that's fine. I'll just keep my game box running Linux. While I niche myself even further down the computing rabbit hole.
