Speaking as a noob, I was amazed by how easy #openBSD was to install and get running with #xfce. I think my next bout of experimentation will be doing it with #KDE (the #nextcloud client for openBSD seems to offer integration with dolphin; KDE's file manager). The only thing I haven't got my head around is auto-mounting USB drives upon insertion. Perhaps antithetical to the sane security defaults for which openBSD is known, but there are lots of guides online for people wanting it :P damned if I can get them to work though!
*edited to add, if you want to run Virtual Machines on it, they have to be openBSD VMs; I only mention it because reading this quote was what made me read more about openBSD and then end up trying it... I know little about computers, but I've seen people make (indeed, I have worked with, and within) good systems and bad systems, and this sounded like someone who was really trying to make a good system... https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19912394
