NetBSD 11.0
Points and comments are a snapshot, not live.
NetBSD 11.0 is out with known security issues, transparently documented.
NetBSD 11.0 has been released after delays. The project chose to publish despite open security issues due to the increasing rate of AI-discovered vulnerabilities. Three open pullups are listed: hdaudio ioctl access checks (local user), ipfilter null pointer deref (not in default kernels), and pf use-after-free (deprecated). The team plans a 11.1 release within two months. ISOs are split into CD (under 700MB) and DVD images; USB users need .img files.
What commenters are saying
Commenters generally welcome the release. A top thread debates NetBSD's viability as a daily driver: some note it runs on hardware Linux no longer supports, others emphasize its Bluetooth support (included for 20 years, unlike OpenBSD which removed it over security concerns). A separate discussion praises the release note's transparency about open issues. Several commenters defend continued CD-ROM image support, citing legacy hardware (e.g., 486 systems without USB) that NetBSD still targets.
