My only experience with FreeBSD is running a TrueNAS server, and there's some weird bug where once a month or so all the RAM (literally like 70 GB) gets eaten up by FreeBSD Laundry which crowds out the ZFS cache causing performance to tank and then never goes down again. I've not installed anything "weird", just running a few basic jails like FAMP. I've taken to periodically running a task that allocates craploads of memory and lightly dirties it to force the OS to "collect" the laundry. Googling it finds a random smattering of other people who have the same issue but no solutions. So my take on FreeBSD is that it's pretty nice but without the larger user base of Linux it has more weird bugs that don't get teased out.
