> there's a lot to be said to just use something more common/mainstream instead. I.e. Linux For those of us who worked the industry in the 90s and remember the pains of "just use windows like a normal person and forget this weird linux hobby thing", there's some irony in saying that. Common/mainstream doesn't always (even usually) mean better. With Linux (not Linux the actual kernel, but Linux userspace distros) going in directions away from security and stability in the search for mainstream-ness, the BSDs feel like breath of fresh air these days. Very similar to how Linux felt back when everyone was telling me to run windows.
