Well that's good, with linux seeping down the toilet bowl we need bsd more than ever.

[!WARNING] The FreeBSD port of the Podman container engine is experimental and should be used for evaluation and testing purposes only.

The OCI images can be imported into local Podman container storage using
'podman load':

% podman load --input ./FreeBSD-<version>-<arch>-container-image-minimal.txz

It may be interesting to test this.

Cool

Small tip: You can burn/dd FreeBSD DVD images to USB no problem! (it's mentioned in Announce posts or at least for 14.1's) For just installing though the memstick-specific image is fine.
