@snacks Apparently yeah most of them support DRM and so Wayland. I thought it was Linux-only, guess another thing where I'm stuck a few years back.

@chjara i knew it's technically supported and assumed i'd just be able to use sway but i at least can't find it in the pkgsrc tree rn

@phnt @chjara didn't work the way described in https://www.pkgsrc.org/#index1h1 but the source package guide also has issues

@snacks @chjara Check the paths in a web browser: https://www.netbsd.org/docs/pkgsrc/using.html#installing-binary-packages
For the next time when you install NetBSD, there's an option to setup pkgin in the installer ;)

@tisanae @fiore @snacks Please don't. The UFS filesystem which is the only one properly supported for root blows up if you look at it badly. One hard crash and it's likely partially gone with lost data. Same with OpenBSD.
Use it as the name suggests for network installs (diskless installs). It's great for that and small embedded systems that need a port. That's about it.

@fiore it's a genodeos distribution which i'm not even 100% sure what it is. From what i've gathered it's basically a set of apis to develop kernel agnostic software.
The real reason i wanna use sculptos is that those mad guys are just packaging it on an sel4 kernel and i wanna run that
