Chances are it will work very well. First, less flaws were identified with AMD's implementation of speculative execution. That means that there are less mitigations to slow down the system. Whether there are unidentified flaws, that's another issue.. Second, the amdgpu driver was just imported to OpenBSD 6.5-current. That means you'll have graphics support. Combined with the recent improvements to xhci and wi-fi driver improvments (well, mostly intel), support for modern laptops has never been better. Chris
