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.

Does the BSD’s heavy emphasis on code correctness, that’s when the quality and security of the code will be revealed. I will watch what the OpenBSD developers say when they try to port the new code for FFMpeg.

When this comes to the BSD’s, it will be interesting to see if there is a significant difference in multimedia. I bought Intel 11th gen over 10th for it’s AVX-512.

Anything released on Github has no code requirements or restrictions, that is why some people do reproducible builds of software, to verify is has 100% functionality of a binary release. Any app from F-Droid is repoducible.

It’s too bad that the F-Droid releases are far behind. I do not install from Github to prevent against proprietary dependancies.
