    @dotjayne@tech.lgbt this is not meant as a glib response: NetBSD &amp; OpenBSD. I bailed on Linux after a quarter century of use (I started jumping ship before botshit was a thing, so I have a 3 year head start on this process).

OpenBSD has better graphics hardware support unless you run nvidia.

    Ok, #NetBSD on Odroid M1S update: I&amp;#39;m setting this one down for a bit. I&amp;#39;m stumped by the ethernet phy and tired beating my head against it. I put in a PR for my current progress, and that&amp;#39;s merged into the main repo. Spinning a release might be difficult (for submodule bitrot reasons), so I made a status post with release binaries: https://overeducated-redneck.net/blurgh/netbsd-on-odroid-m1s.html I&amp;#39;m just going to use a USB-to-ethernet adapter for now and use...

    @cstross@wandering.shop @NanoRaptor@bitbang.social IIRC, NanoRaptor is out of the reach of US courts. I believe it&#39;s summer where she is.
