- implements 4y agoNot a user, but it appears it has Bluetooth support - unlike OpenBSD.
- rjsw 4y agoI'm using it to write this post.
- xianwen 4y agoWhy do you prefer to use NetBSD? What do you use NetBSD for?
- pxc 4y agoIsn't breadth and duration of hardware support one of NetBSD's claims to fame? (My understanding is that this is not about things like x86 peripheral coverage so much as CPU architectures.) Portability is one of the top priorities for NetBSD IIRC, which is one of the reasons you can use its package manager on other operating systems, like Linux or macOS. It's a good one, too!
