Love it! I'm curious, why do you use netbsd? Is there anything annoying about daily driving it?

I'm considering trying FreeBSD on my laptop, just for basic C++/Rust/Java progrmming.

I initially entered the *BSD universe because I wanted to learn more about the system. I chose NetBSD because it's the closest to the original.

NetBSD has all the software I need so it's easy to daily drive it. They're is heaps of active developers and package maintainers and if what you want isn't in the repo then it'll be in pkgsrc.

I do use Void Linux on another machine too but I use my NetBSD machine more. It's just more fun.

I use FreeBSD for our home server and it’s probably the best in my opinion because of the detailed manual. Word of caution for laptops though, WiFi cards can be finicky as to whether they’re supported. Gaming laptops with nvidia/intel dual drivers can also get messy. There’s more WiFi info here:

https://wiki.freebsd.org/WiFi

And there’s information on supported cards on the os versions release notes

Nice ! Love the simplicity! Does gopher still produce any content for users ? I thought all people moved to amfora ...

Yeah there is still plenty of Scribe Gopher users. Gemini (amfora being the client) is pretty cool tho. I use both.
