Rubbish!
All computers are oriented to Windows, because that's where the market
has been traditionally oriented.
I have an Acer Travelmate that has been working brilliantly with Debian
SID for over 4 years, and has never been compromised and believe me, I
would know if it had.
Before that, I did the same on an ASUS laptop for quite a number of
years, also.
All you have to do is keep your eye out for availability of drivers for
aspects such as network cards,and the OpenBSD site should cater to
that.
A little research is involved but as long as you are reasonably
studious with that, you should have no problems.
Cheers!
