I heard BSD is solid as a server. The person I know had to compile everything but that was many years ago. I would assume you have binary packages as well nowadays?

I never really used BSD and I only know NetBSD a little. I'm actually curious about a NetBSD server but I'm lazy even for my desktop. And I was considering switching my Debian server to Alpine but I haven't touched that server since 2019 aside from occasional updates, so even that's a big step for me. I guess the more realistic standpoint is I will install Alpine when my netbook finally dies and have to replace it with another hardware. :)

    yes there are binary packages available, so i just use 'pkg install ...' like 'apt-get install'. NetBSD also has binary packages and is pretty good. it's all fun to use, but tbh i don't think there's many reasons to move away from a linux system because there's not many clear advantages

    Well, to be fair I don't really have time to learn whole another system, even though there are many similarities. I'm just interested, as a hobby. :)

    It's good to know they have package managers like Linux though.
