OpenBSD has a reputation for being more secure than Linux, because OpenBSD's developers put significant effort into security research and secure coding practices. People who expand this to other BSDs are mistaken. FreeBSD is a good general-purpose OS competing in the same space as Linux, and NetBSD will probably run on your toaster.

FreeBSD has a bunch of not-especially-secure stuff in it, but it's generally assumed that you've read the manual and will harden and tune a system based on its role. As a project, it doesn't have "secure by default" as a primary goal in the same way that OpenBSD does (not to say that FreeBSD developers don't care about security, just that security isn't elevated above other concerns to the same degree).

All software sucks...everything is broken.

He also mentioned that BSD is dying but then again I thought it's the license that keeps them afloat.
