Luke 37067 Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 For those who haven't seen: https://www.theregister.com/2024/03/18/truenas_abandons_freebsd/ They're going all-in on TrueNAS Scale. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adrianwi 237 Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 More details on the iXSystems forum - https://www.truenas.com/community/threads/what-is-the-future-of-truenas-core.116049/page-11#post-815057 - but it still makes me really sad when I think about this. Hopefully TrueNAS 13.3 when it's launched later this year will be supported for a few years and who knows what can happen in a few years.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bolok 16 Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 Yea, very sad. No interest in scale/linux for my server here. So "worst" case scenario i just throw full blown freebsd on my nas. Might poke at xigma. But on the other hand It's looking fairly likely that it's going to be forked, not sure whether they'll wait till core goes eol or whatever- but I'm keeping my eye out. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you have against Linux? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bolok 16 Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 The zealotry, the license fanaticism, the gnu org and their userland tools? Fair number of things i'm not a fan of. I don't completely hate slackware or alpine ,for example but shrug. My *nix exposure went from SvR4 to free/net/openbsd with a smattering of solaris, linux just has never been compelling for me. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baenwort 97 Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 I'll echo bolok. I'll be monitoring the fork. I contributed to it when it was FreeNAS before iX took over and I'll be happy to switch to the new fork, what ever it is called. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
