That means developers work on what they find interesting. That might align with your view or it might not. At some point some people are paid to work on something even if it is not the most fun thing for them. But they have a contract so they have to honor it. The FreeBSD Foundation contracts people to work on certain areas they see the Project needs to improve at ( https://freebsdfoundation.org/open-positions/). For the rest, I'm afraid you would need to join the efforts of some projects that share your interests. I know some people would love to have docker on FreeBSD and maybe a group can be formed to work on that but as other people said, it is not easy to do so. Don't get me wrong, I think FreeBSD has some things to learn from Linux, though some others I hope we never adopt. > > On Mon, Apr 17, 2023 at 10:31 PM Paul Pathiakis <pathiaki2@yahoo.com> > wrote: > >> Just remember....
