In case people are wondering what makes DBSD so interesting, DragonflyBSD is:
- focused only on x64 architecture
- has an extremely small but exceptionally talented team of developers (e.g. Matt Dillon from DICE and Amiga fame)
- has it's own unique filesystem called Hammer (and work is being down on Hammer2 which is a complete rewrite)
- Network performance is particularly good with Dragonfly and even better than FreeBSD which is known as being the golf standard for network performance [1]
Edit2: it should also be noted in the release notes, it refers to detailed NVME disk performance testing the Dragonfly team performed. These results are largely agnostic of what OS you run. Really interesting to see the Samsung NVME device come out on top and Intel in last. This is a good read even if you don't run Dragonfly.
