I love FreeBSD on personal servers and workstations. But lean into FreeBSD not into macOS look and feel. The m2 macs make it the best workstation out there. If you have that there is no business need for this os.

Run it for fun but it’s never going to reach mass appeal

Don’t know what people expect from an operating system like FreeBSD. Will joe average install it on their family computer? Probably not.

Still FreeBSD quietly powers so many things, and has been used for so many platforms(Hotmail, Yahoo, WhatsApp, Netflix, etc). plus PlayStation, userland in OS X… plus all the network appliances(and storage).

It seems to me FreeBSD gives you a great platform to do your own thing without getting in your way.
