    I have a bunch of qualms with OpenBSD, especially compared to FreeBSD. Xenocara dropped support for xorg.conf configuration as well as launching xorg as an unprivileged user rather than in xenodm, both in the name of security. Basic X11 apps like xedit were broken for a few releases, and with the most recent release, the installer is unable to handle any partition schemes other than the default 6-partition layout (specifically, in my case, I couldn't use a one-partition system. The devs admitted it was a bug, but they didn't seem too keen on fixing it, because again, 6 the 6 partition default is more secure for permission-separating reasons and thus not worth supporting). Overall, they feel more like a hobbyist OS akin to 9front working towards security through obscurity.

    But I do love that default fvwm style.
