@traumweh I’ve been running #NetBSD servers since the ‘90s, having settled on NetBSD after Linux started becoming less and less what could be used from O’Reilly books, further away than even AmigaDOS.
I run several colocated servers that host a good number of dynamic sites (WordPress, Drupal), DNS for hundreds of domains, hundreds of email users, services like SearXNG, Akkoma, various virtual machines, plus shell accounts for many users for all kinds of programming languages.
There are plenty of things others want to run that I don’t want to, but I haven’t found anything I’ve wanted to run that it can’t run.
Since not all the world’s an amd64 system, I only run binaries I compile myself, plus several of my servers are non-x86.
As others have pointed out, NetBSD can be quite boring in good ways, which is really wonderful once you realize how much time that leaves for other things.
