I greatly fear that the BSDs are gradually losing the battle to keep up with Linux in terms of newer features and support for certain classes of hardware. It saddens me to note that both iXsystems (TrueNAS, previously FreeNAS) and Netgate (pfSense) are looking towards Linux, not BSD, for their next generation of larger-scaling, higher-throughput systems. In the case of iXsystems, the new TrueNAS Scale is Linux based. And in the case of Netgate, their new TNSR product is based on Linux. Eventually it seems likely that both companies might well want to rationalise on one underlying OS. And FreeBSD itself has recently experienced the Netgate-related Wireguard incident. As for Debian, they certainly had what one might call an 'event' with the decision to choose SystemD. ;-) (Sorry, I realise that this is going off topic).
