Re: "Have tried OpenBsd a few times and liked it, but what holds..."
The reason I would rather use it is simple. Watch a video, either streaming or on a local disk, with vaapi enabled. Cpu Usage 2% Cpu Temp: Maybe a degree or so above idle. Fans: minimal to no rpm change. Without vaapi Cpu: 15% - or more Cpu Temp: 5-7 degree increase Fans: Noitceable increase in speed. To me its a no brainer. Even as far back as the GMA cards this has been available.

Have tried OpenBsd a few times and liked it, but what holds me back is lack of support for liba/vaapi etc. I find myself wondering why this is a hurdle for OpenBsd as all of the other BSD family have it implemented without issue? Maybe someone could throw some light onto what makes it an obstacle?
