Welcome!

OpenBSD is the smallest of the Unix-like projects, so you will find that there are a number of rough edges which may or may not exist in other similar projects. However, the caliber of development at times exceeds what is found in other similar projects.

One of the shortcomings of this particular project is finding reliable information. The project developers take quality documentation seriously, and thus put significant time into the correctness of the manpages and officially sanctioned FAQ. Newcomers are highly encouraged to study this document carefully.

As for your question about supported hardware, the very best source is to mine the project's mailing lists -- particularly misc@. Many of the project developers & regulars here prefer the http://marc.info reader. The interface is simple & fast. Other mailing list aggregation sites can be found at the following:

For both political & historical reasons in the OpenBSD world, avoid nVidia at all costs. Studying the mailing list archives will state this again & again.
