Re: FreeBSD. Dragonfly forked from FreeBSD around 11 years ago (v4.x). So the two have diverged quite a bit of the years. E.g. Different file systems. Different kernel approaches to SMP. Etc.
Shough package systems are based on the same code, syscall/binary level compatibility has diverged, so it does entail a separate installation on another partition/disk/etc and separate set of application packages, etc.

Yes, Skylake is supported.

The package management system is the same though.
