So Linus showed his entire ass ( again, if you've been paying attention in the last twenty years, but for some reason this one really got noticed ), and now I keep seeing people talking about building weird #NetBSD / Debian hybrids, how Devuan was trying that, and
You know you can just run NetBSD right? No need to loot it for replacement parts, it's a stable modern OS that works fine exactly as it is.
Putting the GNU userland on top of it will be a lot of work to catch up with what it already is, and carries the reward of having Richard Stallman's slime on everything.

@aaron@chirp.zadzmo.org "I can't run NetBSD because it doesn't support my Ryzen 46 with Nvidia RTX 98000 and 802.11ayx WiFi" You know middle aged x86 computers are free, right?

@aaron@chirp.zadzmo.org this is how I setup my NetBSD boxes with a reasonable Linux-like experience https://git.disroot.org/m33/comfy I wouldn’t recommend to change the default shell for root account, but one must use an unprivileged account for daily use anyway ;) #netbsd
