This is my long term safe place desktop if Ubuntu slides further down the slippery slope of advertising.

Ubuntu and OpenBSD are at completely opposite in the user friendly spectrum. You're a better off moving to Debian.

ubuntu is just the apple of linux world ubuntu is everything working out of the box ubuntu is made with the foundation of an ex businessman whom dislikes win/mac

ubuntu is a linux among hundreds of linux distros

openbsd is a rock-solid safe regarding security everything is handlymade to get a taylored-made computer.

if I had to compare, ubnutu is a bit like a high rank standing appartment in a big city where openbsd is a very nice home handly made to answer to all your choices and decision, whom might not be delivered with several defaults when you receive the keys ;)

Ubuntu was my first choice to make the jump from Windows. My current daily driver is Pop!OS, which seems equally user friendly to Ubuntu with minor differences in the details of usage.

I've been using Linux since RedHat 5.x "pocketbooks" with CDs were available at newsagencies (late nineties?), so I'm not scared of the prospect of having some fiddling to do in setting up OpenBSD. The main concern would be the availability of compatible apps that I use regularly.

True, but openbsd is far easier to understand than ubuntu.

user friendly is not the same thing as simple.
