I wonder if it was on purpose or accident that the LTS release of .NET Core coincides with the LTS release of Ubuntu...

No relationship to the 18.04 LTS, but we were following that release closely. We started testing on 18.04 at the start of the year, and offering Docker images for it at around the same time. We're also watching the Alpine 3.8 release closely.

Any chance .NET Core is going to be supported on FreeBSD/NetBSD/OpenBSD in the near future?

As part of Google Summer of Code a participant is looking at porting .net core to FreeBSD https://github.com/dotnet/coreclr/issues/18067

FreeBSD was the first community port, but vanished again. Seem like lack of size of the community interst there.

What do the two have to do with each other? I'd say it's a coincidence, I don't think MS is trying to steal Canonical's thunder or anything.
