Comparing NetBSD with OpenBSD i like to use what is better for performance and packages availability ?
Also do i have to do anything to make my nvidia 1050ti to work it seems it is working i can playback 60fps hd youtube videos so i guess there is some graphical acceleration but i think that no nvidia package is installed.
Tried to install both these nvidia drivers and run a X -configure but my resolution has been lowered.
-- Do i have to do anything to make nvidia 1050ti work fine ?
Also is there any reasons to select NetBSD over OpenBSD is it faster ? does it have more packages ?
Also i don't know why some applications folders like /sbin etc is not on Path and i can't execute these commands.
Also the backspace key doesn't work i haven't selected any layout and when i select english-america still i can't use these keys why is that ??

chrisfromgreece Also i don't know why some applications folders like /sbin etc is not on Path and i can't execute these commands.
They should be in the default PATH. Find out f you're overriding them somewhere.

What character the physical BACKSPACE key produces depends on multiple things, but, generally it should produce either ^H (the ASCII BS char.) or ^? (the ASCII DEL char.). The NetBSD system console outputs ^? if you press BS; xterm, by default (it can be changed), outputs ^H (Similarly, you can configure the behaviour of the DEL key--either to erase the character under the cursor, or to remove the char. before the cursor).
If you've configured one, while the system or program expects the other, then BS won't work as expected.
To see what the BS key will produce do this: At a command prompt, type cat; then type Ctrl-V; then press the BS key. That will tell you what the system console, or xterm, sends. Then, make sure that the system understands that key. Run stty -a; and look at what erase =. Make it match using stty erase '^H' or stty erase '^?'

Also is there any reasons to select NetBSD over OpenBSD is it faster ?
Yes. At least on my hardware (laptop with system installed on HDD), although it's slower than Linux, FreeBSD and DragonFly, it's still noticeably faster than OpenBSD. It also offers decent video performance with my intel chip while OpenBSD just fails to play a youtube video properly and makes Xfce crash a lot.
does it have more packages ?
Definitely. Comparing https://pkgsrc.se/statistics.php with https://openports.se/statistics.php shows that NetBSD currently has almost three times the number of OpenBSD packages.
