Reproduction steps
Literally attempting any pnpm command under FreeBSD. even --version fails.
Describe the Bug
After updating from pnpm 10.31 to 12.4.1, it appears there has been a regression on what operating systems pnpm supports.
Attempting to run any pnpm command, even "--version" results in a panic:
Error: × Main thread panicked. ├─▶ at pnpm/crates/config/src/defaults.rs:107:14 ╰─▶ unsupported operating system: freebsd help: set theRUST_BACKTRACE=1` environment variable to display a backtrace.
fish: Job 1, 'pnpm --version' terminated by signal SIGABRT (Abort)`
There was a recent issue on pnpm not installing on FreeBSD (#14597), that described an installation bug (closed just 5 days ago as of writing), however, it appears whatever changes the pull request introduces have not been tested.
Expected Behavior
For pnpm to either inform on its documentation that FreeBSD is not a supported platform, or work properly as it used to in the past.
Which Node.js version are you using?
24.18.0
Which operating systems have you used?
If your OS is a Linux based, which one it is? (Include the version if relevant)
