Just started sponsoring #NetBSD.
I have a small little (old) netbook with VIA VX800 GPU.
It had been running #Debian for 14 years. The openchrome driver for this machine broke in Debian 12 (segfault). I don’t blame the the Debian team, it seems that Linux is moving away from X11 towards Wayland, which is sensible for new machines.
But I like to keep this old machine running, it does its job well at 800x480px. NetBSD 9.2 works fine out-of-the-box. And it runs #emacs fast enough.
