They've added USB 3.0 support very lately, 10 years behind. And a non-working UEFI which requires you to use the shell instead of sysinst.
NetBSD is a broken and dead shit. Don't use it. Better FreeBSD.

I remember hearing netbsd had support for using Lua to write network drivers and then never heard anything else. Is that still a thing? I've had netbsd on my weekend to-do list for years but just have never found enough time or motivation. What's so great about netbsd?

Can you go a bit more in detail why Net vs Free? I would LOVE to replace Linux (Fedora) with one of the BSD's. It's philosophy and everything basically suits me far more than anything else, but I need CUDA, I need Nvidia drivers, I like to play with ML, I need few more things like that which makes it a no go as far as I'm aware.
Forgive me if you've already heard this a lot, but Slackware is often described as being a very "BSD-like" Linux and might be another way to get some of the philosophy you're seeking.

I always thought it was peculiar that the “net” one was not the security focused one.
From the NetBSD About page[0][1]: > Why the name? > The “BSD” in our name is an obvious recognition of our heritage as a derivative of 4.4BSD and 386BSD. > Our contributors communicate primarily via email and Internet-based chat systems; many of us have never met each other in person. We also use a remote source code management system called CVS which enables a large number of developers to do independent work on the…

Have you used NetBSD and if yes: 1. Why did you choose it? 2. What are your impressions?
i learned a lot about linking and linker flags by working with it since it didnt use the "standard way", it used something simpler.

The BSD organizations of today are more about researchers making an operating system for OS research as a field and less hacker idealists trying to bring a free OS to the people. Nearly all of the latter people go to Linux these days.
If researchers are working on NetBSD, wouldn't it be receiving more novel improvements? Everything in this changelog looks like stuff other OS's have done before. How is that research?
