FreeBSD is probably the closest. At least for the stuff that matters to me :) Specifically, I have a Radeon RX 480 graphics card and a Mellanox ConnectX-2 network card and they work great. Fun fact, both of these drivers are pretty much copy-pasted from Linux with little changes -- thanks to LinuxKPI, a layer that reimplements some Linux kernel interfaces on top of FreeBSD's.

FreeBSD was close or even ahead of Linux maybe 15 years ago however now Linux too far ahead. Heck Linux gets driver support for hardware before the hardware even exists.

  You'd be surprised how many Linux drivers (new and old) actually come from netbsd or freebsd.
