OpenBSD was a great OS back in the late 90s and even early 2000s. In some cases it was competing neck to neck with Linux.
Since then, well, Linux grew a lot and OpenBSD not so much. There are multiple causes for this, I will go only through a few: Linux has more support from the big companies; the huge difference in userbase numbers; Linux is more welcoming to new users. And the difference is only growing.

Unless you want documentation. :) Linux documentation is ALL over the place, and it's hard to know if X docs apply to your particular mess.
On OpenBSD it's `man <thing>` and you get your docs. Yes man exists on Linux, but lots of tools, especially "new" stuff or linux specific stuff doesn't come with man pages and those that do have man pages, can be missing lots of stuff.
Systemd docs tend to be somewhat useless, missing all sorts of stuff. Troubleshooting systemd by reading the docs is usually a waste of time. Reading the source code or getting lucky with a web search is usually your only hope.
