I have used OpenBSD as a desktop for 7 years. Though my usage and the machine were minimal. But I thoroughly liked it. I want to go back to it. One good thing is that if your hardware has some problems or about to have problems then installing OpenBSD will make your computer kernel panic. So I use it as a diagnosing tool for my hardware

Same, it's particularly good for troubleshooting older hardware too since most bog standard x86 parts are well supported.

If I have a random ISA/PCI/AGP/PCIe card that OpenBSD can't see or properly initialize, it's probably an issue with the card.
