    BSD is a top choice? I only thought it was on it’s way out. I’ve never seen it used or mentioned outside of “Mac is based on BSD!!!”.

    The “why” section didn’t really explain why Quantum is investing in BSD at all. Did something happen additionally that led them to invest in BSD laptops of all things?

      pfSense and OPNsense are both BSD, and they are pretty popular routing/firewall systems.
      BSD also has jails, which are pretty popular.
      Netflix uses FreeBSD for some of their systems.
      PS4 was based on FreeBSD.

      I don’t think it’s on it’s way out.
      It still has a place
