This is the truth right here. With the skills you have as a Linux person you can easily migrate to (Free|Open)BSD.
I started with Debian in ~1994'ish (USB didn't work yet, it was probably the stable branch at the time). I had DECADES of experience with Linux.
It was easy to transition to *BSD. This is the beauty of Unix. I still get a brain fumble when I'm bouncing between systems and type the wrong command on OpenBSD vs FreeBSD when I'm doing something common like installing or searching for software. The core mechanics work everywhere. Knowing the right question to ask when searching gets you that last 10%.
How do I restart the $X service on: (OpenBSD, FreeBSD, RedHat, Debian, Arch, ...etc)
(Free|Open)BSD are more simple, while Linux feels more automagical in the way services are managed. I dislike SystemD for this reason and prefer the BSDs.
