Be all that as it may, this is still a “why not Linux” line of thinking, rather than “why FreeBSD”, which is the more interesting question. And it is not a binary choice.
- davidw 2y agoBecause FreeBSD is a perfectly fine OS for server type stuff, and maybe it's better for this, that, or the other thing. So someone probably picked it and it has worked ok for them.
- inopinatus 2y agoJust to be clear, you don't need to convince me - I've been preferring BSDs for my own infrastructure since the 90s. But I'm mindful that the discussion can quickly become polarised and winds up with negative framing or binary assumptions, which isn't helpful for others asking the same question.
- davidw 2y agoI tried FreeBSD once, thought it was kind of fun and interesting and went back to Debian and then Ubuntu, which works well for me. I recall the good old flame wars, but feel kind of past that myself.
