You know, I would... but Linux has already won the battle... FBSD and Illumos corporate support is already jumping ship to Linux.
- yjftsjthsd-h 2y ago/shrug It really depends on your usecase; I have laptops running FreeBSD and illumos and I won't say there's no extra friction but it does in fact work for what I run. If you need software that only runs on macOS, you might need a mac. If you need hardware that only has Windows drivers, you might be stuck with Windows. If you require software that works on Linux but not another unix-like, you might have to use Linux. But there's plenty of software and hardware that work fine on more OSs. It just depends on what you need. Edit: Oh, if you do need Linux, maybe look at Slackware?
