(no title)

the openbsd community seems to like calling people idiots

Even the title of this article reflects that mindset

There's cultural history about that very phrase. There was a series of books written with that exact title. They were intended to "provide a basic understanding of a complex and popular topics. The term 'idiot' is used as hyperbole". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complete_Idiot%27s_Guides

Edit: I want to add that apparently the author put a lot of effort into writing a fairly comprehensive document. It will probably be quite helpful for someone attempting that install.

The document shouldn't be dismissed just because of the title.

Indeed, and it seems to be a nice write-up, not dismissing that. Kudos to the author.
