@chadmccullough@mastodon.bsd.cafe @netbsd@mastodon.sdf.org I found that NetBSD could be very picky of the support media you use. The installer could behave as corrupted even if the downloaded image is sane.
I could suggest you to pick a quality usb key, or try from an external usb that acts as installation support.
Beside, NetBSD has also a Linux compatibility mode, but I had not poked its capabilities with the linux ports I have.
Wine is there, but careful that the version is not updated yet to 11.

@chadmccullough@mastodon.bsd.cafe @netbsd@mastodon.sdf.org NetBSD is more geared to be a general purpose BSD focused on portability than efficiency, in the guise "more exotic, the better" than FreeBSD that is geared about server performance, but no reason why it should not perform well in this role if you are comfortable with, and the performance matches your tasks. The point is how much are your need to have windows and linux only software under compatibility.
