Yes, the OpenBSD community does have a unique mindset and approach to software, and the focus on security and minimalism has led many users to adopt a DIY attitude and a willingness to compile software from source or explore alternative solutions. This approach can be challenging for users who are used to more polished and user-friendly systems, but it also offers a lot of opportunities for users to customize their system and learn more about the underlying technology. And as you mentioned, the reliance on TUIs and command line interfaces can also be a positive aspect of the OpenBSD experience, as it encourages users to become more familiar with the underlying system and the tools available to them. Ultimately, OpenBSD offers a unique operating system experience, and the users who appreciate it are attracted to its focus on code quality, security, and minimalism.
