NetBSD 10 represents a noteworthy advancement with improved SMP performance, faster virtual memory, enhanced scheduler, upgraded security features like WireGuard VPN support, and support for ARMv8-A security features.
NetBSD, the oldest BSD project, stands out for supporting a wide range of architectures and platforms, including eight 'tier 1' supported platforms and 47 others at version 10, encapsulating its motto, 'Of course it runs NetBSD!'.
NetBSD developer Benny Siegert highlighted the project's 50-year history, starting from work on BSD in 1974, with NetBSD 0.8 released in 1993, showcasing its longevity and heritage.
A question on why to choose NetBSD over FreeBSD left Siegert momentarily unsure, indicating a need for clearer distinctions in the ecosystem, emphasizing the importance of understanding each project's strengths and weaknesses.
