Probably, firefox and chromium just werks (install ffmpeg too!), idk about GIMP, terminal ofc works.
Some issues THOUGH:
>acpi0 on Thinkpad T480 is always on 100%, needs kernel patch (ACPI storm)
>newer realtek drivers probably won't work / not available on OpenBSD (rtw89)

as long as your hardware is supported and you're okay with the selection of browsers (firefox and ungoogled-chromium are available)
for my cheapo WalMart laptop, everything is supported except the wifi chip, so i'm going to have to buy an Atheros AR9271 802.11n USB adapter

If you happen to need audio over hdmi, you will have to manage your own kernel (remove an if-statement in azalia.c). And then you might have to manually manage which device to use for audio output. I made my own scripts for that.

I run FreeBSD on my thinkpad no problems. I don't know about OpenBSD, heard its hardware support is worse.
