Yeah, I've had the same issues with BSD distros over the decades, always giving those devs the benefit of the doubt that they would get around to fixing various driver bullshit for older hardware eventually, and they never do.
Meanwhile a bleeding edge distro like my Arch setup runs on a piece of shit Celeron two-threaded dual-core with 3Gb RAM old as fuck Chromebook just fine.
Two shitty people, one is an alleged pedophile and the other is a stereotype deadbeat father, stir up controversy about each other to gain popularity and sell albums.
BSD kernel and is hardware driver policies are still very interesting to use and mess with. I run OPNsense on a device that has recently completely replaced my residential router and it's fun to realize how complex everything is magically working together on a system that looks and feels familiar but is literally completely alien outside of GNU applications and package manager.
US government does not have a public fund or tax to pay for the development of a government sanctioned Unix/GNU operating system by a US company. Once that happens, then this issue goes away.
