The OpenBSD devs continue to outdo themselves for hw support. First Broadcom drivers, then Apple Silicon (working with the Asahi devs), now Qualcomm. Very impressive


It's crazy how well supported most hardware is on BSD compared to other *Nix OS's. The fact NetBSD can boot on hardware that is 25+ years old, running on an architecture that no longer exists, is insane to me. The BSD communities are a different breed entirely.
