Yes because if they took the scheduler (for example) it will be really easy to see ...</sarcasm>

I do not say that the kernel is FreeBSD, just that it's FreeBSD based. They took some code that they didn't wanted to write themselves. syscalls means nothing, it's "easy" to replace syscalls when you control the userland.

There is nothing proving that. If you look at the licence in the switch menu you will see way more licence header than the network stack (there is even jail and MAC framework licence). Unless they took some random licence my bet is the Switch OS is FreeBSD based. Nintendo have a Network stack since the Gamecube, why would they took the FreeBSD one 16 years after ?

Whatsapp donated 1 million dollars two years ago and 500000 dollars last year iirc. For Netflix I don't know but they employ a lot of FreeBSD devs and upstream all their work.

FreeBSD did not do recent work on H5, I would know as it would have been me :) But we should run on it without too much effort (I have hardware, now I need time)

I guess, I could run some more test with different compiler optimization and not running kernel with debug features.

Off-Topic: I guess I should have add "Show HN" in the title ... sorry about that.
