The DragonFly BSD developers have released version 4.8 of the operating system. It now supports EFI, and AMD Ryzen CPUs.
DragonFly version 4.8 brings EFI boot support in the installer, further speed improvements in the kernel, a new NVMe driver, a new eMMC driver, and Intel video driver updates.
[...] AMD Ryzen support is in the release and further work will be brought in as new Ryzen developments occur. There are some cpu-reported-topology issues that will be fixed and MFC'd. There are some stability issues currently waiting on an AMD microcode update to resolve/retest. Ryzen users can be assured that we are staying on top of it!
Instructions for updating your DragonFly BSD OS to 4.8 are given in the link above.

OK, but WRT the link you provided, I have to wonder at the examples they cite. How many people still need to run StarOffice, Netscape, WordPerfect or RealPlayer 5? Their hey-day was late '90s, early noughties at the latest.
