Speaking of better vendor support, why doesn’t it support Apple Silicon yet? Obviously, Asahi has led the way on this and their m1n1 boot loader can be used out of the box. But OpenBSD has supported Apple Silicon for three years now.
- a96 10mo agoFreeBSD has always been the non-portable one.
- movedx 10mo agoWhy does it have to? Why does everything have to supper everything? Why can’t a project have a focus on servers and that’s its “thing”? Also it’s OSS — contribute that support if you’re so passionate about it.
- bigyabai 10mo agoThe original, unedited version of the grandparent was bemoaning the lack of vendor support behind FreeBSD so the parent's comment made a lot more sense in-context.
- tuhgdetzhh 10mo agoYeah, sorry for removing that part. Changed my mind just minutes after posting, because I really like FreeBSD any my critique sounded a bit too harsh.
- CalChris 10mo ago> everything Firstly, FreeBSD already supports x86 Mac Minis. Servers? M-series Minis and Studios are very good servers. Lastly, FreeBSD has an Apple Silicon port which has stalled. https://wiki.freebsd.org/AppleSilicon https://wiki.freebsd.org/AppleSilicon I'll ignore your last point.
