This is big, their contributions to the freebsd network stack will be missed for sure.

Interesting

apple uses a BSD kernel

BSD is a microkernel, it is smaller and puts more things in userland

windows and linux kernels are basically the same in their architecture, giant, monolithic blobs with enormous APIs, as compared to the small and well organised BSD kernel

note that BSD has been a free kernel for a long long time, and yes it was developed by students and postgrads in berkeley university

you know the reason why it isn't more widely used?

hardware.

mainly because almost all hardware supports windows, and then reluctantly they release some, often closed source binary blobs for linux, and then the best BSDs can do is wrap a them in a Linux API, which is a bit hit and miss

apple is profiting massively off the BSD code base but they give NOTHING back

so, you may now stop gloating

this is the inevitable result of microsoft dodgy and probably illegal collusion with hardware makers

glad it makes you happy

I dont see the advantages to this. Im glad I moved to OPNsense last year.

What about opnsense. Was it not the opensource brother of pf?

It was publish on April the 1st… April Fools’ Joke maybe? 😉
