I used OpenBSD on servers, but the lack of Bluetooth stack keeps me from using it on the desktop.

> lack of Bluetooth

You can use usb hardware bluetooth dongles [0] with OpenBSD, they are detected like any other audio device. I assume that there are a variety of these available.

[0] I'm using https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00ZYYPFHU

I primarily need it for my mouse, but that's good to know for audio.
FWIW, you can also get a mouse that wirelessly talks to a USB dongle, i.e. the interface to the PC is USB (which OpenBSD does support); the first hit I got is https://www.amazon.com/Logitech-M185-Swift-Wireless-Mouse/dp...
I use a cheap, wireless mouse with OpenBSD on a ThinkPad. I've never had a problem with it. No special configuration. It just works
