Buy an X870 board for future CPU options, buy whichever 9000 processor that you settle you, after CES buy a 50 series from nVidia, they'll have GDDR7 and could be slightly thinner, set your fan curve in UEFI and GPU software, look at a Dark Rock Pro 5 for CPU, and you can get it pretty silent.
I question the claim about Apple Darwin using NetBSD since Mac is based on a 10+ year very old version of FreeBSD, and Playsttion 4 and 5 uses FreeBSD. Sony aubmits code to FreeBSD to get it supported for Playstation.
Wholly, entirely, irelevent. Search the number of people who use NetBSD once a week compared to the number of people who use FreeBSD once a month or OpenBSD once a month. Check the number of people who have at least installed NetBSD. See what it's used for. NetBSD is completely forgettable.

I joined there.
Does the BSD's heavy emphasis on code correctness, that's when the quality and security of the code will be revealed. I will watch what the OpenBSD developers say when they try to port the new code for FFMpeg.
Your argument is purely ideological and reflection of your lack of experience travelling various countries that do not speak English. For example, go to a country where 100% of all business, companies, and offices, use Whatsapp because it's the most stable form of phone service they have so they don't have to pay for each phone call and pay for each text message.
Every and any hardware manufacturer can or has.
I assume that you're at least halfway joking about backdoors in Intel.
Anything released on Github has no code requirements or restrictions, that is why some people do reproducible builds of software, to verify is has 100% functionality of a binary release. Any app from F-Droid is repoducible.
It's too bad that the F-Droid releases are far behind. I do not install from Github to prevent against proprietary dependancies.
There's not a noticible difference in performance for 9000 if a person already owns a 7000. There is a technical case to be made for buying 9800x3D, and it's not because it's new or faster. But sure, buy a 7800x3D and then buy a 10800x3D.
I don't know if tariffs, or an import tax, will be universal on everything, or only for certain products to encourage American manufacturing. Is there 4080 Supers easily for sale? I know the 4090 went end of life, maybe a month ago, from nVidia to clear out stock. I'm planning to buy a 50 series and then go to a higher resolution.
