> more modern on Linux namely firewall, security, containers / virtualization I disagree. FreeBSD has pf which is the superior firewall (as does OpenBSD and OSX). FreeBSD has jails which are the superior containers, and bhyve for virtualization (also ported to OSX as xhyve) which is wonderful because it doesn't support any sort of legacy devices like floppy disks which have lead to security vulns in qemu. In terms of security, since you used the term "BSD" I am going to include OpenBSD in this comparison, which is the obvious champion of security. > As for ZFS I've been using it on Ubuntu on my NAS which is 10 years old with 0 issues, never had a single issue. That's because Canonical decided to ignore the license issues and bundle ZFS with Linux. Every other distro honors the license: https://ubuntu.com/blog/zfs-licensing-and-linux https://ubuntu.com/blog/zfs-licensing-and-linux
