    Tried to install 14.3R onto the metal (no upgrade), but the install doesn't seem to have worked

    For a start - all FreeBSD installations I do are Auto (ZFS) with BIOS+UEFI setup. This way - you are covered in all possible ways. Could you try to install FreeBSD again this way?

    Nature of BSD operating system providers

    NetBSD was started 1993/04 and FreeBSD later on 1993/11. Besides that - thanks for gathering all this stuff in one place.

    What is the difference between umount and dsbmd/dsbmc?

    That is how MTP works - after 1st attach phone/USB device is visible but you can not mount anything - this is the time you are asked on the phone screen if you want to share the files - then You agree and this '1st' device disappears and new '2nd' device appears with mount option ... but it does...

    What would you like to see over the next few FreeBSD versions?

    OK, thanks for that. Things I use - like my typical pipe trains in POSIX sh(1) shell syntax - work as desired - seem I did not relied on word splitting.

    What is the difference between umount and dsbmd/dsbmc?

    I would not trust Linux lsblk(8) either - that is why I wrote my own lsblk(8) version from scratch for FreeBSD - https://vermaden.wordpress.com/2019/09/27/list-block-devices-on-freebsd-lsblk8-style/ - details here. Also - Linux lsblk(8) is written in C and supports dozens of options and...

    What would you like to see over the next few FreeBSD versions?

    You misunderstood me. I write all scripts in POSIX /bin/sh - and all UNIX scripts are meant to be written this way. FreeBSD also comes with CSH/TCSH - does anyone write shell scripts in them? Mostly no because its useless. ZSH is a POSIX /bin/sh compatible shell - meaning that all POSIX...

    What would you like to see over the next few FreeBSD versions?

    Migration from Xorg to XLibre. Also as ZSH is MIT licensed - inclusion into the FreeBSD Base System.

    I am too young (41) for this - but my buddy told me that there was time when Mark Williams Coherent Unix was 'THE' cheap option to have UNIX system.

    Solaris is the only one that keeps up with the world and Oracle was the worst thing that could happen to Solaris ... Solaris has really nice features like Zones and Kernel Zones for live migration, Crossbow, ZFS, LDOM, pkg(8), COMSTAR, really nice features. It is really underrated enterprice...
