Will Netgate keep developing pfSense on FreeBSD or is the switch to Linux going to be for all Netgate platforms?
-
Came across this article, https://www.netgate.com/blog/pfsense-software-embraces-change-a-strategic-migration-to-the-linux-kernel, and it's not clear if pfSense will continue to be both developed on FreeBSD and Linux or if it will be Linux only moving forward.
Where is the timeline for this? I'm unable to find it.

Check the date on that news you linked.

@nimrod The news link was written on April 1, 2024, but it does answer the question I asked:
Will Netgate keep developing pfSense on FreeBSD or is the switch to Linux going to be for all Netgate platforms?

@joshgreyz I think it does answer it... April 1st. Get it?

It is either true or a terrible joke. Most think a terrible joke because it is not outrageous or obviously a joke.
These posts will be around for years unless it is clarified. -
@AndyRH It's already been clarified.
-
@Jarhead The page does not clearly state it is a joke, so these posts from people running across it will continue for years.

The fact that it caused all this makes it a great joke. I feel sorry for people that dont get it. You people need to learn to relax sometimes.

"Hey Siri, how do I know that I've done a successful April Fools joke?" Siri says "when people suffering from a data to keyboard malfuction think you are serious".

True but that would defeat the purpose of the post.
I meant all you have to do is a quick search here and it's been clarified. -
Only someone from the Netgate Team will be able to answer this question.

LOL LOL LOL - let's make jokes at everyone's expense - good job everyone!
