I think it's just an evolution of distro-hopping even though I don't think people like to admit it. After you've tried all of the major linux distros and you're still looking to play around with something different, the next step is to jump to something like BSD or Haiku or Plan9. You might not get a lot of people openly admitting this though, seems like it's looked down upon to try out something new like this "just for fun" versus having some super specific technical reason. Then again, the "just for fun" distro-hoppers may not stick with Plan9 long enough to tell anyone about it before they move on to something else :P
- that_jojo 7y agoCan confirm. And I'm not embarassed to admit it. When did wanting to just have fun become shameful?
- jethro_tell 7y agonot sure if BSD should bee in that list with Haiku or Plan9 There's a few BSDs that have 'multimedia and the modern web'
- el_cujo 7y agoI didn’t mean that they aren’t usable like that, but that a lot of people try them out after hopping between a bunch of Linux distros first. I know people who use FreeBSD as a daily driver and do all of the normal stuff your average user would be able to do in terms of web browsing
