What is /g/'s verdict on NetBSD?
>>107653159cuck license
>>107653283>implying the GPL isn't cancerBSD license is freedom. GPL is communism
It's OpenBSD without the ideological autism. I highly recommend it.>Journaling FFSv2ea that supports extended attributes and simple snapshots>ZFS available too, if you deem it necessary. Not OpenZFS.>Excellent in-house software: NVMM, NPF, pkgsrc>In-kernel sound server straight from Solaris>Supports Bluetooth, Nvidia with nouveau, WINE>pkgin package manager is friendly and also fast like aptRegarding security, it has ASLR, KASLR, SMAP/SMEP, PaX Segvguard, PIEs, Veriexec, kauth, among others.The drawbacks are the worst consumer hardware support among all BSDs (except DragonFly and Midnight) and lower software availability. It has Chromium and Firefox though.
>>107653159Everything in NetBSD has excellent code quality and documentation. You can literally start working on kernel hacking day one.There is at least one feature that is unique to NetBSD: rumpkernels. It lets you reuse kernel modules in userspace. Thanks to rump kernels on netbsd mounting an external drive will be done in userspace with exactly the same code used in kernel space. Same could be done with drivers. This is a huge security improvement and I’m surprised openbsd didn’t adopt the technology
