New FreeBSD-based NAS OS forks emerge after TrueNAS Core cancellation

Two new operating systems, FreeCORE and BSDnas, have emerged to continue the development of the cancelled TrueNAS Core, which was based on FreeBSD. These projects aim to provide a stable, FreeBSD-based NAS OS for users who preferred it over the Linux-based TrueNAS SCALE. Both FreeCORE and BSDnas are built on the FreeBSD 15 codebase and have migrated the TrueNAS Core web UI and other functionalities, offering alternatives for users seeking continued support for their FreeBSD-based NAS solutions.
