… My main focus has been getting all the issues fixed with Gershwin Desktop so I can make an image include that + more kexts ASAP. Wifi kexts load but I need to port some 80211 stuff to integrate wifi into configd, etc. More to come. …

…

Mach IPC, launchd (replaces /sbin/init), configd/IPconfiguration (replaces netif), IOkit (replaces devmatch, devd). Resulting in automatic graphics detection, automatic networking with state change handling, service supervision, parallel startup to name a few things. I have other ideas beyond Darwin components like porting smb3 from illumos that I have been brewing about for a long time. New frameworks for jails, bhyve. The equivalent of dockerhub for jails. Management tools comparable to this https://www.hexbsd.org (an earlier creation of mine). A revived NAS appliance. A Gershwin on NextBSD image (desktop appliance).

For people who are new to all of this:
