NetBSD is more portable than Linux and supports a lot of CPU architectures. OpenBSD is secure by default. I think the BSD’S have jails, which are better containers, but I do not know much about it.
For desktop daily use, it only matters if you really want that Unix taste.
What about openBSD? I doubt the most secure OS would want llm code.
Is there another GPL OS instead? I am a fan of the GNU Hurd, but sadly I cannot run it on my hardware. The team of devs is really small, and it is amazing what they have done in all these years.
Each part of my system must do one thing and do it well.

It is interesting because we are getting a popular web browser on Mac to gnulinux. I am not a big fan of it though because it is nonfree.
You can’t really decrappify browsers without first decrappifying the web.
I agree with this point a 100%. Wish something like Gemini would succeed (Gemini the protocol, not the google bot). The web is so bloated and “unprivate” if that is a word.
Good luck with it. You will learn a lot. Also there is no such thing as a Wayland wm, but rather a Wayland compositor, and that is a distinct difference between X11 and Wayland.
osdev is the way, https://wiki.osdev.org/Expanded_Main_Page. I am also following this, so I do not need to build a cross compiler, https://arjunsreedharan.org/post/82710718100/kernels-101-lets-write-a-kernel. I am writing a 64 bit kernel, so I am going to use limine as the bootloader.
I learning about kernels by writing my own.
Just want to let you know from my canoebooted laptop that I run a 100% “free as in freedom” OS (trisquel GNU/Linux). Also you have convinced me about striving for a goal instead of doing it perfectly, which is not possible. Well said.
