My home router, firewall and VPN gateway is an OpenBSD box, Intel N100 with quad 2.5G Ethernet. To be frank, Linux has better support for fighting bufferbloat with FC-CoDel, but pf is so much saner than Linux firewalls it's not even close.

WiFi is handled separately by a Ubiquiti UniFi system, but I don't trust Ubiquiti not to exfiltrate data after their underhanded attempt to turn telemetry on a few years ago. OpenBSD WiFI is somewhat mediocre, but it has improved in this release with experimental support for WiFi 6 after years of being stuck at 802.11n.

The closest you will get to the OpenBSD experience on Linux is with Alpine Linux.
