Could I ask what kind of work you do day to day? Does it feel sluggish in comparison to Linux for that use case?

Mostly sys-admin stuff, a lot of terminals, ssh, config editing, minor programing. but I keep a few desktop utilities (gimp, inkscape, blender) for when I want to make pictures, notably absent is a file manager, the shell takes care of all my file manipulation needs. but if I had to recommend one it would be xfe.

Speed-wise I think is is more sluggish than a linux system. I like and keep it because openbsd is so comfortable. openbsd was the first operating system where I felt I understood it and it's motivations. every once in a while I try to replicate my preferred system on linux(void linux comes close to what I like about openbsd) but usually find myself back on openbsd(usually with a sigh of relief) in a couple of weeks.
