It may be me, but I love OpenBSD for security and philosophy of simplicity while allowing complete and total freedom and flexibility. Although i have been playing with computers for thirty years I find actually getting it set up and working is difficult. The other issue is that when I do get something working I move on and forget what I did. For example I spent the last few hours trying to get a simple desktop working. I did install XFCE4 which worked pretty much, save a weird bug that put my password where normally a user name would go, like the top right toolbar and lock screen unlock field.
I thought simple, and OpenBSD has spectrwm, a simple tiling window manager. This runs on X. I am using a laptop with a 4k screen that makes reading the terminal or anything else impossible.
X uses .xinitrc as the config file where you can set the resolution and launch the window manager you want. You may see online peopel referencing .xsession as a place for X config, but that is not really true.
I would recommend alacritty to xterm.
