NetBSD.

The docco, the culture, the clarity and simplicity of design from first principles. The coherency of code across kernel, user-space, accompagnying material. The vibe.

You may know NetBSD (if, at all) as the BSD that wants to be "portable" and may dismiss it against FreeBSD's focus-claim of "performance" and OpenBSD's focus-claim of "security". Interestingly, trying to remain wildly portable requires a cleanliness inside that is very soothing.

Question, I want to get into more lower level programs like compositors or docker daemon or kernels (I do realize they all are different things) but I find tech behind them so intimidating and don't know where to get started. Do you have any advice where I can learn them? I'm about to grad next year
