FWIW, I am on NetBSD 10.0 BETA using a T420. For me it is very stable, no issues. Images can be found here: https://nycdn.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD-daily/netbsd-10/latest/images/ https://nycdn.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD-daily/netbsd-10/latest/i... But to avoid a very minor suspend issue, I had to start up picom(1) in ~/.xsession

  I just love how many architecture this runs on, even toasters!

  When will 10.0 come out of BETA? I've been expecting its release for a while.

  For context, this is a well known slogan for the german state of Baden-Württemberg and I actually had the same association at first!

Corresponding man pages for hier(7) on some other systems: Linux - https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man7/hier.7.html https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man7/hier.7.html FreeBSD - https://man.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?hier(7) https://man.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?hier(7) OpenBSD - https://man.openbsd.org/hier https://man.openbsd.org/hier macOS - https://www.unix.com/man-page/osx/7/HIER/ https://www.unix.com/man-page/osx/7/HIER/ however note that the man page for hier on macOS is "a historical sketch", and not actually very relevant on macOS. They still have the man page present even in the latest releases though but with that disclaimer at the top.

  Also file-hierarchy(7) on Linux if you have systemd

  There is filesystem(7) on illumos, although it needs a few updates at this point to retire things we've removed like SPARC support: https://illumos.org/man/7/filesystem https://illumos.org/man/7/filesystem

Just installed NetBSD on an old MacBook. Once I figure out how to use the uatp driver for the multitouch trackpad I plan on using this as my primary machine.

Since no one had mentioned this yet, it's a part of the filesystem hierarchy standard (FHS). The "upstream" specification is here: https://www.pathname.com/fhs/pub/fhs-2.3.html https://www.pathname.com/fhs/pub/fhs-2.3.html

  No it isn't. The hier(7) manual page dates back to 386BSD. NetBSD imported it from there; and FreeBSD imported it from 4.4BSD. The FHS only dates back to 1994.
