Default How many people run BSD on RPi...

As the title, I'm interested in learning how many people run BSD, (& which flavour), on RPi SBC.

(I've tried a few times & failed.)

Did you find it difficult to make them work?

Better a late than no answer:
Yes, I'm running OpenBSD, NetBSD and FreeBSD on RPi4B, NetBSD on RPi5 and OpenBSD on BananaPi M5.
The beginning sometimes was a little bit tricky, and I had to search and read a while. But since more than 3 years the systems run fine and rock stable.

And, important: It was very interesting to get it to work.

Regards & a happy new year
Berni

Happy New Year!

On RPi4. It took some reading, but I wouldn’t say it was difficult to install. I’m not sure I could find today what I read then to help. I installed a few years ago, and anyway, I have just been upgrading with sysupgrade rather than reinstalling, and a few things have changed since, so you would have to search for current instructions.
