For me personally it would be the ability to run jails and ZFS on a desktop. That would in turn enable me to run the same in production because local/dev/prod parity would be a good thing.

Don’t Linux and FreeBSD both use OpenZFS these days? Jails are a fair point, but if they’re essential to your production environment, why not just run your FreeBSD dev environment in a VM on your Linux laptop, or SSH into a dedicated FreeBSD dev box? After all, OP is already running Linux in a VM in order to run working WiFi drivers.

Certain integrations between ZFS and the OS are more 'elegant' in FreeBSD: * https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=beadm https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=beadm * https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?bectl https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?bectl

    Also ARC and page cache (kernel mm) integration isn't very good on Linux. It's fine for NAS but possibly not good for desktop usage. Perhaps good on FreeBSD?

I mean, Ubuntu does support ZFS, and there's LXC...
