In 2023, the NetBSD project celebrated 30 years since its first release, 0.8. | ||
Now, four years after NetBSD 9, NetBSD 10 brings a huge number of changes and | ||
improvements. This talk will dive into the most important new features of | ||
NetBSD 10, such as performance and security improvements, expanded CPU and | ||
GPU support, improved virtualization and more! | ||
|
||
Another strength of NetBSD is its package system, pkgsrc, which is portable | ||
to dozens of other OSes and can even be used like virtualenv for development | ||
and deployment environments. | ||
|
||
But over all this, the question remains: how relevant is NetBSD these days? | ||
There is a small but friendly, and tight-knit community of users and | ||
developers. The focus on portability and cleanliness provides a good system | ||
for both beginners and tinkerers, but also a rock-solid server or workstation | ||
system. We will go over some cool use cases and show ways that you can get | ||
involved. | ||
