OpenBSD on personal laptop? - BSD

Been wanting to run BSD (especially OpenBSD) for a while, but:

1. I'm currently looking for a laptop, and because BSD's hardware support is very lacklustered, that would mean settling for intel gpu intead of nvidia and subsequently, an integrated gpu instead of a discrete (dedicated) gpu :(
(Reason this is even a concern is because I do need to/plan on running dual boot with Windows)

2. Having to give up the options for a lot of AUR and software that are otherwise possible on linux.

I know some of you run BSD, and OpenBSD seems to be a crowd favor on the forum judging by the recent threads, so I was wondering if anyone could shed some light on your decision process when making the switch and describe a little what kind of computer you typically install OpenBSD on? Personal computer? server? and perhaps what kind of stuff do you usually do on it, mostly for coding? everyday use? ever feel frustrated because certain things aren't supported? etc.

Thanks in advance.
