But those things apply to Linux distributions too, e.g., Debian.

Having experienced both operating systems, Debian gets nowhere close. The Debian wiki is full of outdated articles.

OpenBSD's manual pages and online FAQ combined have never failed to answer a question I've had about the base system. It's really that good.

The ArchWiki is close behind in usefulness, but that's maintained by its community and article quality varies.

The Arch wiki is great. Reminds me of the old Gentoo wiki from way back when Gentoo was the new hotness. I'm not even an Arch user but documentation as to how things like Window Managers work is fantastic.
