@mrhamel I'm sure this is a joke, but otherwise, yes.

perhaps most people are unaware just how prevalent FreeBSD is throughout the world, and part of the reason for silent unawareness is that the BSD license doesn't require the same chattiness of the GPL. so BSD often exists under the radar, hanging out on the internet backbone, posted up in critical IXPs, serving all those meaty-binary-DRM blobs from streaming services, computing the cycles of the Playstation devices, running embedded firmware the world over... or peering down and back at us from space probes...

yes, FreeBSD kmods are actively developed, despite all of the attention that linux demands, despite all of the anger that microsoft rages on about, and still it persists at being more efficient, more stable, and more user friendly without making a fuss about it -

FreeBSD exists without the constant interjections of the no-one-cares classic statement, "btw, I use <linux distro>" or other comedic tragedies...

It didn't used to be this way, linux used to be great, it was inspirational, it was enjoyable, it had not yet been invaded by the worst closed-source fear-mongers the world has ever seen... but now we see these systemD/microsoft infected linux systems staggering around demanding reboots and crashing their kmods in a flaming wreckage of repeated death spirals with a garbled single last gasping demand to "LOOK AT MEEEEEEEEE!" 😆
