If you are already someone expirienced with terminals and unix (loonix mostly), have the hardware support and be fine with the limitations of what you can run then yes.

I would use it on my main looptoop but battary life is shit when using it
Also use FreeBSD, it's meant to be good on desktop.
^altough OpenBSD is aryanware, if that matters then you might be fine choosing this instead

In what regards does OpenBSD perform better or worse as a daily driver for a desktop in comparison to other OSes/distros?

OpenBSD gets slower driver support and older software in general
I believe thered more to it but i guess it's mostly snca, altough again, FreeBSD is still a better desktop choice
