 You must answer this question for yourself.

+That said, OpenBSD ships with the <a href="http://www.x.org/">X
Window System</a>, the basis for a graphical windowing environment of
the type currently commonly associated with "desktop computing". Many
users identify "desktop system" to mean "<a
href="http://www.catb.org/jargon/html/W/WIMP-environment.html">WIMP</a>-<a
href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graphical_user_interface">GUI</a>
setup with the following applications":
+
+<ul>
+<li>a graphical web browser,</li>
+<li>an email client,</li>
+<li>a PDF viewer,</li>
+<li>an image viewer,</li>
+<li>"office" software applications such as a word processor, a
spreadsheet, and a presentation program,</li>
+<li>music/media player software,</li>
+<li>and possibly a choice of further productivity software and games.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>
+While there isn't an "official" OpenBSD desktop distribution, it is
certainly possible to satisfy all of the above requirements and
install such applications on an OpenBSD system.
+
+<p>
+However, different people have different opinions about which
individual application programs are preferred, and it is not for the
OpenBSD project to prejudice your decisions. You will have to make
these choices for yourself and do the legwork in terms of setting up
your own system the way <i>you</i> prefer it. Searching the web for
<i>openbsd on the desktop</i> may a good starting point. You will
undoubtedly find some of the documents other people have written about
their own setup. Please understand however that these are not official
and only represent other users' solutions to their own needs &mdash;
which may be different from yours. Your mileage may vary.
