FreeBSD is infinitely better than any flavour of Linux if you can do what you need to on it. Great performance, superb documentation, the software just works for the most part (an update in the libc isn't going to break any of the base packages, for example). It takes a while to get it set up, and it can be picky about hardware, but I totally recommend

The BSDs still cannot run docker
No, because Docker is a tool for running Linux containers.

You can use the Linuxulator to run Linux binaries on FreeBSD, including entire distro userlands in Jails. You can use Podman to build and manage OCI containers with Docker-compatible commands.

In other words: you as making the classic XY mistake.

FreeBSD has jails and a great hypervisor. Also it can do podman iirc
