Nah. Doesn't really matter when you are building the hardware to do that job. And in any event, FreeBSD is primarily a server OS, and its support is quite good in that department.
Example: OpenBSD and NetBSD both will install X11 and a window manager by default from the installer, if you want. FreeBSD doesn't. They're working on it, but they've been working on it for years.
You can integrate a fleet of Linux storage servers with a collection of K8s clusters more easily than a you can BSD storage servers. Getting BSD and Linux talking smoothly needs Real Unix Skills.
Colleagues in K8s shops tell me that their k8s guys come for help with complex tasks like.... deleting files. They know to construct and deploy containers, but not how to delete a file without using a GUI (meaning Windows or at best WSL).
I am told that some companies are now demanding "bash" among the list of skills for would-be container-herders. And here, "bash skills" means you should know to to create, edit, and then delete a file -- over an ssh connection.
