I think what FreeBSD and any other systems need is either compatibility or something similar to NixOS. Declarative systems management seems ripe for BSD derivatives.

But it has to be done right. As much as I love GUIX for example, GUIX is hampered by not being able to support a lot of hardware by design.

Guix supports plenty of hardware if you run the mainline kernel.

What is in the guix design that makes it unable to support a lot of hardware?
