if I were to start learning more about one of the listed BSD operating systems, which would you recommend? Guessing the answer could be different if we're talking about daily desktop usage vs server, so maybe clarify your answer via a reply if you can (fwiw, probably more interested in daily desktop usage, but open to whatever too).
Here at Emacs.ch we run an experimental side instance [1] based on Snac2 [2], which is a Mastodon-compatible Fediverse server written in C, runs completly file-based and features a zero-JS UI.
It doesn't have many of the fancy features of Mastodon, but is a bright example of how a super-minimal system can do the job very well. It'll also work with your mobile Mastodon apps and small browsers like Dillo[3].
It runs on OpenBSD and we accept a few more testers. There is no automatic sign-up, so if you are interested, DM me with the desired account name and I'll send you the credentials.

ini adalah instance yanfg dibuat untuk tujuan uji coba. Siang tadi ane mendapatkan akses VPS dari provider dataideas dengan spesifikasi basic yang ane install #openbsd 7.5 sebagai OSnya.
Tujuan pembuatan VPS ini adalah untuk belajar dan ujicoba openbsd, nantinya jika sukses besar kemungkinan ane akan migrasi dari vultr (#freebsd)) ke VPS ini.
akun utama ane masih pakai #gotosocial di @poes dan ane belum ada rencana untuk pindahan ke instance lain meski sekarang gts sudah support perpindahan akun.

I do not eat the easter eggs until it’s April 1st.
I do not open Xmas presents until it’s December 25th.
I do not upgrade to #OpenBSD 7.5 until it’s April 5th.
#OpenBSD 7.5 seems likely to be released soon. I considered switching back. But I just don't feel like I could make it a "forever OS", because there are factors which could force me to use something else. Either I get a new computer and have unsupported hardware, or somebody makes me use some software that doesn't run on it.
#Silverblue seems a safer bet for both of these possibilities.
How OpenBSD is dealing with the xz problem (as seen on the OpenBSD.ports mailing list). This package is not in the base system (it is on my laptop, though):
