I am really quite heavily involved in the tech sector, across a lot of domains. I don’t know a soul who runs a BSD variant. How can I expose myself to this arena beyond making a BSD box… which seems like a waste of time at the moment.

Maybe try it in a VM, or use second hand thinkpads or similar supported hardware.

I still use netbsd as my main desktop, since more than 15 years and counting. Long live NetBSD. My system uptime is counted in years.

Wow. I always want to run a BSD as my main but then I never have time and revert to the mean :/.

Looking forward to NetBSD 10.0 review on the register :D

Slight snag -- I had a few days off and I may have caught COVID again, and am feeling rather unwell. Poorly timed as I am far from home and any of my testing kit.

I hope that my editor will still be happy to take and run such a story in a week or so's time.

How can you be thankful to a lack of a ecosystem. BSD now has less room in the server use cases, where it should shine, without being able to use Docker at all.

Just use jails. They're better anyway for the few cases where containers actually make sense at all.

Where is the ecosystem with jails? Not talking about technical advantages.
