Re: Does any common mortals here (not programmers or sysads) use NetBSD as their daily productivity driver?

My main desktop is NetBSD.  It's old, from 2014, a hand-me-down
then-high-end gaming box with 24G of RAM.

Things that I need macOS or GNU/Linux for:

  Android Studio (haven't tried)

  Arduino IDE (haven't tried)

  rtl_433 (because our USB ugen doesn't do async, on my list to fix :-)

  zwavejs2mqtt (because node culture is unreasonably non-portable and because
  this depends on something that depends on chromium in node, or
  something like that)

As for DRM, I'm not sure if I have it or not.  I run emacs in tmux in
xterm.  But gimp, qgis work fine.
