OpenBSD hardware compatibility database

Build a crowd-sourced wiki tracking which GPUs and peripherals work with OpenBSD. The niche but growing BSD community needs this.

Why now

New Linux driver inclusion shows OpenBSD gaining traction among hardware tinkerers.

Who for
OpenBSD enthusiasts
Business model

Effort
A weekend

BSD users waste hours testing hardware compatibility themselves. A searchable database with driver versions and workarounds would save this time.

Monetize through affiliate links to recommended hardware. Start with just GPU data before expanding to other components.

Biggest risk: small addressable market.
