Good old FreeBSD - always trying to catch up to Linux.

Glad to see this list, will keep an eye on it !

Now to be fair, in a few ways I think it is ahead. Now if you said "catch up to Linux in hardware support" I would fully agree.

Last I heard, its VM (swap/memory) processes is still better, but seems many Linux people avoid swap space these days. FWIW, I always have swap on any system that allows it.

And Jails, IMO nothing on Linux comes close to how good FreeBSD Jails is.

		Incus is pretty damn good to be fair. You can mix and match VMs and containers, the terraform provider "just works", the setup is fast and easy, it plays well with ZFS. Now I wouldn't be surprised if it still lags jails (or Illumos Zones) in robustness or some capabilities but I'm a happy user of them now.

Not really, it's just different. Not trying to be the same, which catching up implies.
