Funny how the desire to attract new users seems genuine up until someone mentions the glaring elephant in the room, and then you're downvoted to oblivion.

I, like many others, would never use FreeBSD precisely because it promotes the idea that demons are cute, and it's made by people who see nothing wrong with that.

I think Docker support is probably a far bigger deal breaker for people than a cartoon demon.

There is, but your karma is not high enough to be able to see and use the feature. However, you can notice comments that were downvoted more than upvoted by their grey text color (if you are sighted).
