I like OpenBSD. I issue a 'ps -ax' and can see a short list of processes which I understand the purpose of, I feel like I understand more or less how the OS works without being a systems/kernel programmer.

When I do the same with Ubuntu I get a massive list of processes, most of which I don't understand or recognize. I'm back to the Windows feeling that the OS is a transcendent black box, but now with no Microsoft Office, power management, and display (esp multi-monitor) bugs.

I love the idea of Linux but it seems like the less practical option.
