Well my wife uses the OpenBSD laptop probably much more than me now. Main things I hear?
- it doesn't break random stuff on upgrades
- just works, if something worked yesterday it works today
Yeah, and that's on OpenBSD -current upgraded about once a week - that has the perception of being more stable than Ubuntu, Archlinux & Debian.
I didn't notice battery live degradation but I never ran Linux on that laptop. I do notice performance decrease on Firefox but at this point it's hard to pin point if it's the OS & SMP support (which the developers actively point out as an active area of focus) or Firefox itself (also being actively worked on by upstream).
All in all, my wife is using the OpenBSD laptop daily and I don't hear here complaining that much.
