    Wholly, entirely, irelevent. Search the number of people who use NetBSD once a week compared to the number of people who use FreeBSD once a month or OpenBSD once a month. Check the number of people who have at least installed NetBSD. See what it’s used for. NetBSD is completely forgettable.

      Isn’t there value in niche projects? If we just had freebsd it wouldn’t cover all the usecases there are and it shouldn’t. Niche usecases sometimes need niche software

        NetBSD does work for toasters, coffee machines, and fridges, absolutely!

      Even though it’s not as popular as the other options, parts of NetBSD are used for many usecases. Take a look at

      https://netbsd.org/gallery/products.html

      and you’ll see many familiar names.

        I question the claim about Apple Darwin using NetBSD since Mac is based on a 10+ year very old version of FreeBSD, and Playsttion 4 and 5 uses FreeBSD. Sony aubmits code to FreeBSD to get it supported for Playstation.

        MacOS is a modified butchered version of FreeBSD
