I am absolutely with you, FreeBSD is great! >It's a great shame that the industry has monopolised on Linux because FreeBSD brought No sure about that, i think it better the way it is, Linux (the ecosystem) is such a bloatware because it implements every single feature the Industry needs, then having userlandtools like toolbox, busybox or Gnu, 3 different libC's, 5 different MAC-Framework, around 50 different local filesystems (but just 3-4 are stable enough for daily use)....and so on.

If FreeBSD were as popular as Linux, it would have same problem. We don't even need hypotheticals, how many proprietor Unices were there before Linux? Forget history, how many libre Unices are there now? Off the top of my head I can count Free/Net/Open/Dragonfly BSD and may be missing one or two. Only difference is Linux provides a-la-carte experience, while BSDs provide the bundled options. But zoomed out, none bloat doesn't appear to me as an issue in choice/decision making department.
