Hello world,

I search a board compatible with openbsd for a daily low power
desktop-mobile computer but I'm kind of lost after too many searches
and sometimes not enough info. So here I am.

Some of my basic needs:
- audio (mic/speaker ok)
- playing video / 3d (>= 720p with mpv / tuxracer-like compatible)
- ethernet (and a working wifi could be nice)
- low power consumption (something like < 1-2 W suspend, < 5-7 W idle,
  < 10-15 W load)
- firefox compatible (not too slow with 2-3 tabs opened) and other
  heavy desktop-like programs (gimp, libreoffice, etc.)
- suspend/hibernate working correctly
- gpio
- usb
- >= 4G RAM
- good global perfs (not too slow, subjective but...)
- price ~ < $200
and if possible: with virtualisation (but if I understand correctly it
is not possible yet?).

I have found some boards (lot of them) but I don't know if they work
with openbsd and/or correctly.

ex:
- odroid m2 looks nice but RK3588S2 is not RK3588 and it is not
  officially listed in supported hardware so I have no idea
- rock 5b could be an option I guess, but a bit old and no idea if
  everything is working smoothly with it for my uses
- orion O6 looks sexy on paper but too high power consumption I guess
  (4 W sus, 16 W idle, 30 W load?) and no idea how it really feels with
  openbsd
etc.

At start I was thinking about a RISC-V board but it looks like it still
needs some works for a small desktop so I'm falling back to arm.

Any recommendations?
Thanks
