A new BSD on the block is ChaosBSD that intends to serve as a testing distribution for unfinished and broken drivers not suitable for upstreaming to FreeBSD proper.

ChaosBSD is a downstream fork of FreeBSD that is self-described as:

"A Driver Proving Ground  

ChaosBSD is a fork of FreeBSD. It exists because upstream cannot, and should not, accept broken drivers, half-working hardware, vendor trash, or speculative hacks.  

We can."

The first two comments are must reads:

This is an elaborate joke:

amd64 only: modern x86_64 laptops and desktops with hardware bought from Temu or built by companies that don't read the specs

How is this news? Wait, this is Phoronix.

And

Windows 11 Is A New NT For "Broken Drivers, Half-Working Hardware, Vendor Trash" Test Bed.
