I've mainly heard of successes of the networking stack in FreeBSD at Netflix and Whatsapp - but largely, I don't know anywhere else that uses it in production.

- user3939382 2mo agoPS3 and Nintendo Switch OS use FreeBSD components.
- bas 2mo agoDitto for PS4 and PS5.
- soapdog 2mo agoIsn’t that choice mostly dictated by BSD license allowing them to keep things proprietary instead of GPL requiring them to release their changes?
- pjmlp 2mo agoYes a big part of that, is being able to design Orbis OS whatever they feel like without caring about upstream, same with using clang on the devkit.
- pjmlp 2mo agoUrban myth regarding the Switch, Nintendo uses its own in-house microkernel based OS. And Orbis OS uses as much FreeBSD as Android/ChromeOS use Linux, in what gets exposed to devs.
