I initially went back to it over the way systemd was handled on Linux. Nowadays, I've really grown to appreciate the minimalism and the slower, more thorough pace of advancements. I find that being too cutting edge just tends to lead to more problems in production. I also really like the development model, and most design differences I read about (one quick example: /dev/random behavior) more in the BSDs. Lastly, lots of features I like a lot more. ZFS over btrfs, pf over iptables, etc.
- dijit 12y agoI always heard good things about the BSD's and I was forced to use pf in my previous company.. but it was systemd that pushed me towards it, I'm not bound by random binaries that do random things with little documentation- everything is very clearly understandable and I can even guess what things will be doing with a large degree of accuracy. the whole thing seems much more "sane", but- Linux is a better desktop in my opinion.
