Switching to NetBSD Foundation 🚩 (npub1ug0…dw2r) from Linux has been one of the most enjoyable and rewarding things I have done in the tech world in years.
All of it. The community, the software, reading blogs again to get something to work, joining forums, joining IRC channels. Absolutely all of it.
I'm actually finding joy in tech again.
