That’s a personal preference thing. Personally I think chrome UI/UX is horrible and slow. Ut I’m a safari user so again: personal preference.

The man pages on FreeBSD are a lot better than on Linux. And you can read them without network and/or browser.

FTTH with asynchronous speeds? Thats bullshit. The only reason for that is that they use cable or dsl somewhere in the path from you into their core network

It's not even _their_ content. It's _their_ platform to give _you_ access to content they have licensed with the publisher of the content. But yeah, if you dont pay them, they will revoke this privileges.

Maybe FreeBSD is an option? Their packages repo has a “latest” which is very up to date. One can also use ports for more control and custom options etc

With zfs and boot environments the whole rollback issue is solved. No need for nixos for that.

Can you explain a bit more? Why would you prefer your OS to be GPL instead of the BSD licence?
