The Linux kernel dropped 386 support fourteen years ago.

I'm well aware, thank you. I'm not contesting ability to run on a 386, I'm contesting the title of "most portable OS".

		OK. In context -- discussing an article talking specifically about AMD 386 chips -- that was not at all clear. I was at a talk celebrating NetBSD's 30th anniversary. I wrote about it: https://www.theregister.com/2024/04/17/30yo_netbsd_releases_... They're well aware of this. But as Linux edges closer to dropping 32-bit x86 completely -- most distros already have -- I think NetBSD may suddenly regain some relevance in this specific area. There's also a new initiative to improve its jails facility: https://netbsd-jails.petermann-digital.de/
