    This is actually true and it’s a big reason I prefer FreeBSD for a lot of things (if I don’t need containerization).

    Distros always ship totally old software and slam the filesystem with trash everywhere.

    FreeBSD on the other hand lets you easily compile the exact features you want and usually pretty recent versions. I had lots of luck while doing crazy stuff with nginx.
