Description
Chart.show uses an OS-specific way of opening files:
Since we do not have a match case for FreeBSD, you currently cannot display charts via Chart.show on that OS.
Since i am not familiar with that OS, I would need input from someone that actually uses it on how to proceed here.
My first google attempt comes up with this, but i have no way of testing it.

Research direction
Start in src/Plotly.NET/InternalUtils.fs at lines 93-105 and inspect the OS-specific logic used by Chart.show. Research the appropriate FreeBSD open command, then add the FreeBSD case and verify that Chart.show can display charts on that OS; testing may require FreeBSD access.
