I agree, we often overlook the fact that virtualization made enormous progress in the last decades on consumer hardware.

So if I want to run FreeBSD on my laptop I might have to boot Linux first (I know...). Simply because few OS can afford the luxury of broad hardware support nowadays.

FreeBSD is still a very competitive OS but it might start lagging is some aspects behind the most innovative Linux distributions such as NixOS.

My wish would be some work on configuration management and automation since it might be a low hanging fruit for such an integrated OS developed by a single entity.
