pfr Macchina 👍️
It now appears that my request to include a CPU% bar has been granted! Thanks to @pin who has been working with the dev on this. Thanks!
cool, outta check it out; thanks @pin
pfr Which RPi do you have this on, 3 or 4?
Pi3, Model B.
pfr How does it perform with web browsing...
Pi3's performance is limited by its inherent resource restraints; good as home router/firewall, personal server (web, ftp, mail, whatever), displaying/manipulating documents, writing, as a retro gaming platform, for testing/development, as a remote shell....but web browsing can be very laggy unless you're using a text browser or a feather graphical one (dillo, netsurf) with javascript disabled. Taking this into account, NetBSD's performance is great even when compared with some notorious Linux distros I tested on it (Raspbian, Slackware, Void).
Generally speaking, if you're goal is building a cheap, fan-less ARM desktop, my suggestion is to go for something like RockPro64 or NVIDIA Jetson TX1
pfr and video playback etc?
Unlike other SoCs (e.g. again RockPro64 IIRC), as of today 3D acceleration is not supported on NetBSD on BCM2837. You can see on the neofetch screen on the shot it's using LLVMpipe renderer as fallback. That said, there is a a GPU-accelerated media player, called omxplayer (already packaged for pkgsrc multiomedia/omxplayer), specifically designed for Raspberry Pi, which speaks directly to the hardware video decoder of the embedded Broadcom Videocore GPU and can be launched from wscons.
