- idatum 3y agoFor my RockPro64, I ran both OpenBSD 7.3 (haven't tried 7.4 yet) and both NetBSD 9.3 and 10_beta, and I found the NetBSD install process for both versions easier. In the end, I'm now on NetBSD 10 RC1 (just upgraded) and I'm happy. All of the important things work on NetBSD for this Aarch64 device.
- wolverine876 3y agoI thought NetBSD's purpose was to run on everything ?
- sillywalk 3y agoFrom https://netbsd.org/about/ https://netbsd.org/about/ "The NetBSD Project's goals A project has no point if it doesn't have goals. Thankfully, the NetBSD Project has enough goals to keep it busy for quite some time. Generally speaking, the NetBSD Project: provides a well designed, stable, and fast BSD system, avoids encumbering licenses, provides a portable system, which runs on many hardware platforms, interoperates well with other systems, conforms to open systems standards as much as is practical.
