NetBSD 11.0 ships RISC-V, a 10 ms boot kernel, and 39 architectures — and publishes its own security bugs

Released July 30, 2026, NetBSD 11.0 is the first stable BSD with RISC-V support, introduces a MICROVM kernel that boots in 10 ms, and deepens Linux binary compatibility with epoll, clone3, and inotify. It ships with three documented security advisories — and that’s the most honest thing an OS has done in years.
