As for me:
Servers are Alpine. Their devs voted to use slop but to keep it hidden, but it’s as small a distro as I can get away with to try & get around that. v6 kernel, EOL end 28.
Got Free & Open BSD to work (but both are sloppy now to varying degrees). Have a year to get NetBSD to work. Assuming it doesn’t get sloppy.
No BSD worked on the desktop for me. I use a Mac there for now. v26 with the AI turned off. Not planning on going to 27 but I have no escape plan. NetBSD plus lots of work?
