The current status? If you're considering doing anything serious with Unix, absolutely you should use Linux. No question. Don't waste your time with any BSDs.
But ... if you want to teleport back to the 90s and go back to an era before Linux took off on a rocket ship to universal dominance then the BSD are for you. You will find a much more curated experience when people thought that documentation mattered. It is the road less traveled.

- toyg 2mo agoCompared to Linux, all of them lag pretty badly in one or multiple areas (performance, features, hardware support, available software...). They can be excellent in very, very niche use-cases. I run my personal site on openbsd, because I want to do minimal admin for what is a super-basic setup; but that's it.
- kmbfjr 2mo agoSerious like a great file system that is ZFS?
- BoingBoomTschak 2mo agoAnd dozens of critical bugs because it's basically the X.org of filesystems, complete with horrible quality C and half of Solaris tacked to it in the form of a shim?
- Gud 2mo agoI do my “serious” stuff with FreeBSD and my gaming on Linux.
- hulitu 2mo ago> you should use Linux Too bad the _fat_ penguin was not a lie. Linux has become a diabetic infected with cangrene wounds. Trying to make the kernel smaller (by removing modules/features) results in non bootable system.
