I think I might keep either NetBSD or OpenBSD on my 8th gen laptop.. Leaning towards going back to OpenBSD on it since I do need a machine to update ports on it (I maintain about 5 OpenBSD ports... So it's for a good cause, sorry NetBSD fans!)
I must say, NetBSD gives an extremely easy install experience with that 90s UNIX feeling. It's a very solid BSD.
On my newer 12th gen laptop I plan on ditching Void Linux when FreeBSD 15 comes out and putting FreeBSD on it since it has an AX201 WiFi chipset so it can actually do 802.11ac.
I guess I need more computers! 😂

@stefano I have an older apu1d .. I bet that would run NetBSD quite nicely. 🤔

@pertho it surely will.
