- atemerev 2y agoWell, “high-quality network stack” includes wifi, and wifi includes 802.11ax, and there is basically no modern wifi at all on FreeBSD, so… (I understand that it is mostly a server OS, and usually there is no wifi on servers, but still). That’s a little sad, because FreeBSD pioneered the wifi stack, it was better than Linux back in the days.
- doublerabbit 2y agoGo shout at the vendor for creating Linux only blobs. Or better yet shout at them to open source. Drivers are not a BSD problem inherently. More one of that vendors are not contributing to other mainstream OSes.
