No, this was Jordan Hubbard (Former iX CTO and co-founder of FreeBSD) talking about the ill-fated FreeNAS 10. He was referring to the mistake of keeping it on FreeBSD to begin with and trying to run Linux inside of a bhyve VM. He has written and talked about this on Reddit and other places, where he regrets they didn’t just make the push to switch the base FreeNAS OS to Linux, as we did with SCALE and now Community Edition.
He’s been pretty outspoken about the fact that FreeBSD had its day and its no longer viable in the long term war against Linux. Turned in his FreeBSD commit access many years ago as well. (Hope I’m not putting words in his mouth in summary here).
