pkg_add tigervnc jpeg ... does for me. OpenBSD laptop, vnc into 'application servers' such as a i5 (with nvidia) running a configured/static Linux vm, that delivers the screens/video (and sound) quicker than if I had Linux installed and was using chrome/whatever directly on the laptop. OpenBSD security with Linux speed (and the latest chrome browser). Reboot the vm and its back to a 'newly installed' (configured) image again, pristine clean, physical separation/isolation, low attack surface excepting if a hacker can attack via screen dumps/sound.

Why OpenBSD, because its a complete single OS, no kernel/userspace separate entities, the man pages are great, its easy to install/use (after the initial learning curve) - just solid, and works. 10 minutes upgrade time once every six months.
