I am not taking PC build advice from a person that got their first AMD processor in 2021.
Small 60 Hz monitor, crappy wireless mouse, and a Samsung 980 Pro SSD. But hey, the person was trying to build a non gaming machine. Disappointing article
That said, I totally get what the author was going for. It's that I completely disagree with most choices
Edit: downvote all you want, there's nothing about this build that merits fluff
How is the refresh rate relevant? If it were a CRT, I could somewhat understand because 60 Hz visibly flickers and might give you a headache. But this has never been a concern with LCDs.

Luckly, nowhere in the article the author was giving anyone advice. He was just documenting his journey to mount his setup and did this beautifully, even if I don't agree with some choices myself.
I believe you completely missed the point of the article, therefore the downvotes (Even if I didnt downvoted you myself).
For work, I'd definitely prefer resolution over refresh rate, and 4K120 is still too expensive sadly. Agree on the mouse, non-gaming mice are bad. What's wrong with the 980 Pro?
The part about them scratching their head about csm had me scratching my head too.
OpenBSD is wonderful. But at the same time not really tailored to this setup.
As far as BSD “reasons” net bsd might be the “run on anything” reason. OpenBSD is more “code quality and security”. For example hyperthrrading is disabled by default. They priority security over speed.
