I have had a similar journey from Linux to trying a number of BSDs and
then settling with NetBSD for close to 10 years. I still use Linux for a
number of things (DRM, virtualbox and alike + dayjob) but largely use
NetBSD as preferred OS on a few servers, raspberries and laptops.

Things I like most are: one of the cleanest and quickest installation
processes, innovations that are native here but adopted on other platforms
as well such as pkgsrc, bozohttpd, blacklistd which all illustrate
presence of some great engineering thought of achieving more with fewer
resources underneath.

I have never tinkered with mulitple hardware types or with the base or
kernel code, but I understand the codebase is one of the cleanest.

And last but not the least: You feel like belonging to a closely knit
community of very patient and helpful people.

Do you have any specific questions about NetBSD?
