Phoronix reports

The inaugural release of ubuntuBSD is now available, which the developers have codenamed "Escape From SystemD". [It] pairs the Ubuntu userspace with the FreeBSD kernel.

... This first ubuntuBSD beta release is based off Ubuntu 15.10 Wily Werewolf and the FreeBSD 10.1 kernel.

This Ubuntu+FreeBSD operating system ships with the Xfce desktop, is designed for both servers and desktops, and offers complete ZFS file-system support.

N.B. The ubuntuBSD Web Site link is currently a circular trip back to SourceForge.

    Not really, BSD has less marketshare because that's less of a priority than producing quality software.

    We'll promote it, but we're not really interested in ruling the world. Having seen how bad some Linux distros have gotten pursuing marketshare, it's probably a good thing overall.
