The FreeBSD Foundation writes:
The latest release continues to pioneer the field of copyfree-licensed, open source operating systems by including new architecture support, performance improvements, toolchain enhancements and support for contemporary wireless chipsets.
The new features and improvements bring about an even more robust operating system that both companies and end users alike benefit greatly from using.
FreeBSD 11 supports both the ARMv8 and RISC-V architectures, and also supports the 802.11n wireless networking standard. In addition, OpenSSH has been updated to 7.2p2, and OpenSSH DSA key generation has been disabled by default, so "It is important to update OpenSSH keys prior to upgrading."

You know GNU/Linux is jumping the shark when THE major distro didn't take the time to research how to properly go from one LTS to the current one that has systemd and it clobbers the systemd related things. And Debian, that used to the the best engineered distro, just puts in needless circle-jerking complexity, even the /etc/motd is dynamically generated and the twats made the wrong choice of having a static /etc/motd.tail instead of the obvious solution of motd being static as per normal Unix convention and a motd.head to be generated. GNU/LInux is circling the drain
I too was susprised when I realized that servers tend to use cables for networking. Hilarious, no?
What's hilarious is all of these childish excuses.
"You're right," Fisheye says. "I should have set it on 'whip' or 'chop.'"
Trouble is, whatever I get with pkg never has the options I need enabled, so I have to go back to using ports, then I get messy dependency issues "X needs Y to be newer than version B, but Z needs Y to be older than version A". With RHEL and similar, the binary packages tend to have kitchen sink enabled by default, which is better suited for my use cases.
