MediaTek MT7921 Wireless LAN driver
I have the MT7922 (also an ASUS laptop, I wish they would just drop this brand) and about your only option is to run wifibox with a Linux kernel that supports this chip; if you want it to run natively. I gave up on that headache and instead run Fedora with QEMU/KVM and FreeBSD, which isn't an option for everyone.

DragonFly BSD 6.4
You can use WifiBox[1], being a user of FreeBSD myself (Laptop, Workstation and many servers) it would be nice to have "native" ac/ax.

FreeBSD 13: Wifi with Wifibox

Migrate from Linux to FreeBSD
I hardly can take this as valid answer until https://github.com/pgj/freebsd-wifibox exists and in active use by FreeBSD users.

Is there a list of supported WiFi cards in FreeBSD 14.0-CURRENT?
Then this should help.

Ubuntu Security Notice USN-5544-1 Atheros ath9k wireless device driver
Thats what wifibox does on FreeBSD (though I believe the reason is more for drivers than for isolation): https://github.com/pgj/freebsd-wifibox
- Considering FreeBSD as a desktop OS, curious about why it is not more used on the desktop. If you do not use it on desktop, which applications are missing? Any issues that prevent this use?

FreeBSD Bhyve Virtualization
Other than that, I use bhyve on my laptop daily since around 2015-2016. It was somewhat painful at first. I had to bake a CD key into Windows ISO for headless install but now VNC support exists and it's easy to output any graphical installer via VNC.
bhyve doesn't offer API and has not the most user-friendly interface (vm-bhyve[1] for the rescue!) but overall, I couldn't be happier with its - typical for FreeBSD - _set-and-forget_ stability.

What Access Point (L2 VLAN support) could I use to connect/extend a network
I am using FreeBSD in the workstation, I have both intel and realtek, and the main network uses the LAN interface, but I need the VLAN 20 to assign IPs from that range to some VMs (https://github.com/churchers/vm-bhyve/wiki/Virtual-Switches)

how to create a gif/gre tunnel to access a DHCP server in a VLAN from a wifi only host
I want to assign IPs from VLAN 20 172.16.1.0/24 to VMs (https://github.com/churchers/vm-bhyve/wiki/Virtual-Switches) running on a host where main IP 192.168.1.10 is on the LAN network (no VLAN 20) this is the setup:

Podman vs. Docker: Comparing the Two Containerization Tools – Linode

I use Jails to run applications like Postgres, Redis, Python api in an isolated environment. Jails is native FreeBSD, but isolated.

Anyone have gpu passthrough working with FreeBSD as the host OS?
Of what is properly supported, works beautifully and I have to say vm-bhyve is a joy to use. Everything is very cohesive and solid as a whole; I recommend it for servers but for GPU passthrough, only if you like a challenge.

Linux+KVM moving to FreeBSD+Bhyve
I recommend to look into some third-party tooling to manage VMs. I prefer vm-bhyve, https://github.com/churchers/vm-bhyve

Using i5 Fanless mini-pc as router and plex transcoding server
I was thinking opnsense + https://github.com/churchers/vm-bhyve to run a debian instance, which can then run everything in docker containers. It's inception but better utilization of all the services.
- BSD based solutions virtualisation/clustering of resources for VMs

FreeBSD Jails for Fun and Profit
Perhaps it would! But the userbase is definitely what finally got me into FreeBSD. The fact that hobbyists were contributing such excellent cli tools as `iocage` [0] and `vm-bhyve` [1] really is what got me over my fears.
