I got tired of using Debian on my desktop. Frequent crashes and outdated software. So I installed #OpenBSD on a separate SSD and everything works. My only compromise is I need to use DRM-free media. I still use Debian for video games for the same reasons that a Linux user would keep Windows 10 years ago. But for schoolwork OpenBSD works perfectly fine, and I have plenty of music files and downloaded series. I had a few issues with my USB microphone and webcam but I fixed that easily.
I don’t know why I haven’t done this sooner, I’ve always imagined myself using FreeBSD on the desktop before OpenBSD because of the nostalgia, but the lack of 802.11ac support is problematic.
