I really wish I could run FreeBSD on Apple silicon. The shared *BSD base seems fitting.

I bought my iPhone out right in cash and we should have outright full access to the hardware. Not just the screen.

		Agreed. Our hardware, our software, our choice.

Apple isn't really BSD. The mach kernel is very different. There's some shared heritage dating back to nextstep but it's very deep. And some userland. But that's really all.

		Sure it's very distinct but the vibe still feels more *BSD due to that early userland. That shared heritage runs deep. I'd also say it also feels more like Solaris/Illumos. Linux has just always had a very different vibe to it.
