I wonder - if there are reasons to use BSD nowadays.
It seems, Linux is just better, and the only benefit of BSD is that it is not GPL (so it can used in closed-source software)
Exactly what way do you think GNU/Linux is better?
What I like the most about FreeBSD is the flexibility it offers, similar to GNU/Linux, yet at the same time it feels like an integrated system?
Additionally. The FreeBSD pkg and ports combo beats every GNU/Linux distro I’ve ever tried, and I’ve tried many of them.
Certainly I agree with the author of the blog post in many ways. If I was not using FreeBSD as a server OS, I would (maybe) not use it on the desktop.
like maybe if I just needed a simple browsing-word-coding box, but there are Mac offerings there if I want to go fancy, or linux on a commodity Dell/Acer, if I don't, and most of the linux offerings are usable desktops right out of the metaphorical box
