For the Linux version they dropped Docker support and went all in on Kubernetes via K3S, with a Helm charts repository to make it "easy" to get applications running.
This was, in hindsight, a poorly motivated move. Companies that need Kubernetes don't want to run it on their NAS, while for smaller shops and enthusiasts the complexity was way too high and limitations too severe.
So, they've now finally backtracked, and will go back to Docker Compose and dropping Kubernetes.
I had been holding on to the FreeBSD version of TrueNAS due to the complexity and limitations of Kubernetes, running my containers in a VM at quite reduced performance. While I like FreeBSD and ran FreeBSD 3 and 4 on my homelab server back in the days, Linux containers is where it's at for this use-case.

So I'm quite happy and excited for this change.
