I don't know what it is about the BSD's. I just keep getting drawn to them, and I don't even use them personally or professionally.
I think it's because they are complete operating systems with their own user-land and complete documentation. Plus the fact that BSD users get excited about little things like when an extra command line switch or a new filesystem flag. All this meticulous attention to detail...
- parlortricks 3y agoThis is me as well, im excited to know there is a whole solution in one. Ive run them here and there to experiment, but for my needs i still use Debian. I feel Debian gives me some of the BSD vibe, but i still enjoy reading about all the new features the BSDs bring each release. Hope one day they catch up to what my linux box does, so i can enjoy it more.

- bilbyx 3y agoI had switched all my customers from CentOS 6 to FreeBSD many years ago, before systemd was introduced into RHEL. They have been running solidly for almost 9 years now, all on various DELL PowerEdge rack mounted servers.

- asyx 3y agoSame. I always look for a reason to run FreeBSD for jails and ZFS but I just can't. Questionable compatibility and the lack of OCI containers (which are an easy way out if you don't want to spend time setting up a jail on your home server in your free time) always ruins it. I could run a VM for Linux but i could also only run Linux and not deal with that...
