Jon Seager ☛ The Immutable Linux Paradox
Immutable Linux distributions have been around since the early 2000s, but adoption has significantly accelerated in the last five years. Mainstream operating systems (OSes) such as macOS, Android, ChromeOS and iOS have all embraced similar principles, reflecting a growing trend toward resilience, longevity, and maintainability as core ideals of OS development.

Feld ☛ Omada SDN Controller on FreeBSD
Main issue was that it started printing errors in the logs about an unsupported OS, and the notes in the first forum post I linked earlier discusses needing to modify a Java JAR file to edit some code. These instructions were for the controller version 3.2.4 and the current release is 5.15.24.19 so I had to play a game of "extract the jars, grep and strings, try to find where this went" because the jar file they suggested modifying no longer existed.
