As well as what others have said: With FreeBSD things change over time, this is a a given. But I can always use the release notes and the FreeBSD handbook to resolve any issues.
With GNU/Linux things change and the lack of authoritative documentation is tiresome. I end up on Stack-overflow triaging legacy posts from sources I just cannot trust.
Is FreeBSD perfect? No of course not. Is Linux a complete waste of time? No of course not! BUT my time is better spent in FreeBSD (and yes even windows) than Linux.
