This is nice. I recently experimented with OpenBSD on a Librebooted X200. Took some time to figure out how to boot it with Grub. And then it turned out that the particular Wifi chipset wasn't supported. But this gives me some motivation to get a USB Wifi dongle and continue. Any suggestions for one that works?

Good luck. If you find a reliable way to find them then please shout that far and wide. I tried about 10 different wifi usb dongles and all but one were completely unsupported or unusably unreliable (as in 5-10% packet loss, and sometimes needing unplug/replug) on OpenBSD. All the guidance I found was "just get one with this chipset". But it's not that simple. It's usually not listed on product pages, so you have to…

The problem is: 1) Knowing that theme selector even exists without their angry little paragraph pointing it out. 2) All of the other themes are equally awful.

I agree. It would help if the website owner added a way to load the site with a simplified style.
