Slightly off-topic, but for anyone unaware, NetBSD is a wonderful operating system (it happens to be my favorite). Rock-solid reliability, very organized file system, great package manager (pkgsrc), and compatible with virtually every platform imaginable, you can see the full list here: https://www.netbsd.org/ports/#ports-tier1
I recently started testing NetBSD in a virtual machine on my PC. I really like it, although there are some things that annoy me with it.
I would like to use it as my primary OS but it won't boot on my hardware. I've considered installing and running it inside of a hypervisor but I don't know if that is wise.
I am not at home, but as I recall, the kernel freezes during boot for both the 32 bit and 64 bit versions. The 32 bit version of OpenBSD also freezes during kernel boot but the 64 bit version does not. I know it is not an EFI issue as legacy booting is turned on.
It's an older Dell Dimension, one of the very last Core 2 Duos CPUs. I am not too worried about it at this point, as I am going to replace early next month. Hopefully, my next computer will fair better.
Because psutil uses the OS APIs, NetBSD (and OpenBSD) don't expose the physical core count (number of actual CPU cores), only the logical one (including "hyperthreading" virtual cores)
