No.

Yeah use an os that cuts the processing power of your computer in half by disabling hyperthreading. Great plan.

So, installed but I cannot start xfce.

Current is super stable, is not like in Linux land. 99% of people who use OpenBSD in their workstations should use current.

I use -release
am I retarded?

It is very easy, user
openbsd.org/faq/current.html

Once you start following current you will no longer have to compile updates and security patches from ports

the startx command looks at .xinitrc
openbsd uses xenodm which looks at .xsession
mv .xinitrc .xsession

but I just use mtier and syspatch, user
what else do I need for a headless machine
