>FreeBSD has superior: >- package management (pkg & ports) Debatable >- file system (native ZFS) Debatable... ZFS is good for many use cases and is a hot broken mess for many others >- instrumentation (systat & dtrace) Debatable >- documentation (handbook & examples in most man pages) Debatable... I have not fund this to be true in 15 years at least. >- event notification interface (kqueue vs broken by design epoll & inotify) Debatable >- license (BSD, no GPLv3 at all) Debatable The GPL is why Linux is miles ahead of *BSD in mindshare. >- stability (POLA) Debatable... Maybe 20 years ago FreeBSD was more stable but I had more stability problems with FreeBSD in the last 15 years than any Linux distro I ever used. >- quality control (no shellshock, no dataloss on fsync) Again debatable. >- network performance (200gbps TLS encrypted traffic on a single socket at Netflix, millions of open connections per server at WhatsApp) LOL debatable again! Youtube, Facebook, Amazon Video, Hulu, most stock trading exchanges. FreeBSD used to be the goto for web servers and services now its nearly dead in that space with market share in the single digits. >- scaling (there is no cliff when resources get saturated just a bit of a "back pressure") Benchmarks have shown Linux outperfroming any of the BSD's in scaling since 2003 at least. And the Super Computer and server market proves FreeBSD can't scale.
