NetBSD 10.0 Released With Much Improved Hardware Support & Faster Performance

[Steffo]

Is anyone using Net BSD? If yes, for what? Desktop? Server?

BSD license allows using the code for proprietary, closed source products, such as PlayStation OS. This is an important difference for the commercial applications.

GNU/Linux was developed completely independently from ground up. All BSD projects started from BSD software distribution that was the basis of UNIX variants that was released by Berkeley.

Linux is much more capable regarding hardware support and popular compared to BSD.

Right. I forgot about that part. Thanks
For a desktop bsd seems to be like Linux, but worse hardware compatibility. I'll pass, as I really don't have time for tinkering anymore

FreeBSD is the more popular BSD. OpenBSD is the security-focused BSD. DragonFly BSD is the oddball with a supposedly good filesystem that you can't get anywhere else. Where exactly does NetBSD fit in?

NetBSD is the supposedly portable one, yet it's not available for ppc64le, RISC-V, or (new niche!) Itanium.

Then what is the ia64 port for if not for Itanium. I saw it in the ftp site where you get the images and they have an ia64 one.

But here https://wiki.netbsd.org/ports/ they say there's no release for IA64
