The portability is weird, NetBSD has 11 tier 1 platforms, OpenBSD has 14. NetBSD has a really impressive list of tier 2 platforms, but how usable are they?

- chungy 3y agoAdmittedly, I hadn't looked recently, but that values does seem flipped around from how I remember it (then again, tier 1 was probably always a lot more minimal than tier 2). For comparison, FreeBSD has just two tier 1 platforms: https://www.freebsd.org/platforms/ https://www.freebsd.org/platforms/ OpenBSD has 14, as you mentioned: https://www.openbsd.org/plat.html https://www.openbsd.org/plat.html NetBSD, I count 9: https://wiki.netbsd.org/ports/ https://wiki.netbsd.org/ports/ FreeBSD has an additional 14 platforms in tier 2 or 3 support (counting FreeBSD 13; 8 platforms counting only FreeBSD 14), OpenBSD has no non-tier1 platforms, and NetBSD has too many to count, but it's notable that most of them are updated to the current release.
