From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Everyday browsing (except watching videos online which is indeed very slow) is almost seamless on my 16-year-old Thinkpad running NetBSD, even with its meager 4GB RAM. NetBSD in general is pretty chill on system resources.
FreeBSD and DragonFly are not quite there, at least in my experience.
I haven't used OpenBSD for browsing or watching videos in AGES (I only use it for non-graphical applications), so I wouldn't know.
Coolio beanios! I'm gonna try it out.
