Share your OpenBSD or OpenBSD derivative experience (for FreeBSD users)

I decided to ask here rather than start a new thread for it.

Why? Why don't people want to start a new thread, when no thread on the topic exists?
I'm curious.

It looks good for an OpenBSD LIveCD/USB. There is even a 'demo' on installing desktop environment(s) though I don' t know too much about it. I felt it might be a good toy to tinker with but not to replace my lovely FreeBSD. <3

Admittedly, I have never been sure of the use-case of a Live USB. You could just install a normal OpenBSD on the USB and set the root r/o in the fstab. If you want to get fancy, then /tmp, /var/run, /dev could be mounted via mount_mfs(8).

(Back when it was a CD or DVD it made a little more sense)
