H,
I love your way of explaining things. I've had a similar experience
with OpenBSD. I am a bit of a techno-luddite. I don't need much in an
operating system to be happy. I initially moved from OS X to Chrome OS
for this reason, and later switched to some flavor of Linux to give
myself a bit more agency. But the *Linux ecosystem is just so chaotic,
it felt scary and too dense to get into.
I was able to "hack" OpenBSD's model of computing with little friction.
I am no "expert" by any stretch of the imagination, but I am able to
MAINTAIN a few small ports here and there, as well as help others in my
personal life with trivial issues in their OpenBSD boxes. I've found a
sort of "solace" in how fuss-free this community and operating system is
to use and interact with. I'm glad I landed on OpenBSD. <3
Ever hear that phrase: "No news is good news"? Well, that's exactly
what OpenBSD has been for me. It truly is a smooth sailing, simply
comprehensible and easy-to-work-on unix{,-like}.
It's good to hear that things have been similar for you!

Please format your mail better, I beg you. [1]
Also, I don't see how this relates to the contents of the blogpost you
replied to. Did we read the same eMail?
