I don't see how diversity of platforms/OS could be anything but a good thing. FreeBSD has been making a lot of QoL changes over the last several years and is laid out much more like a cohesive system than any Linux distribution I've used. Not to mention it is still used elsewhere. Putting all your eggs in one basket is usually a good way to end up hungry.

> I don't see how diversity of platforms/OS could be anything but a good thing. I didn't say it wasn't a good thing, I said I don't think it giving €686k to FreeBSD is the best use of that money, even if diversity of systems is a goal. In that case, give it to ReactOS or something.

  This seems like a strange use of money, surely? Nothing against ReactOS, but Linux is where most of the focus already is. People using ReactOS are doing so due to preference or legitimate need due to their software somehow specifically being ReactOS dependents. Not that this isn't 'nice', but is that the goal here? I would have thought it would make more sense to put this money toward something underfunded but still useful for the government.

    I'll rephrase since my last comment was flagged. FreeBSD in this context is basically Linux-lite. It's not really adding diversity. Something like ReactOS is. That's why trying to take my words and use them against them here doesn't work. At all.
