After two weeks of testing:
#openbsd
+ Simple, yet many things work.
+ Install defaults
+ OpenBSD mailing lists
- driver management
- wifi setup
-/+ manual patching
#freebsd
+ Freebsd handbook
+ Vast port collection
+ Wifi works right after install
+ Upgrade / automated patching
- Laptop media keys not working by default
-/+ Ports building
OpenBSD would be my goto for older machines or server, FreeBSD has enough ports to be usable as daily driver. Looking forward to test it on newer PCs!
