OpenBSD can be used as a daily driver OS for many use cases; I did so myself for over a year just to prove to myself I could.

Okay... And besides just doing it to prove to yourself that you can ... what other use cases are there?

Genuinely curious, what use cases make OpenBSD better than Linux as a daily driver?

It’s an operating system designed and built as one, just like the other BSDs. Security of OpenBSD is unmatched.

Linux is just a kernel with a hodgepodge of other stuff added.

If you want to game, Linux is a better choice.
