Well popular is a factor I guess. The noisey masses.
However the most powerful and most common RISC platform on the planet
Earth is the IBM POWER9 and that is where FreeBSD server style OS should
work flawlessly. With NVidia driver support for CUDA applications. Any
other considerations for a server style OS would be merely giving the
masses a hug for no great benefit in functionality.
