I agree. BSD just needs some benefit to use over Linux to consider the time wasted a good return. It used to be zfs but recently I just don't have it.


I use OpenBSD on all my utility boxes like firewalls, VPN endpoints, and internal nameservers. I use FreeBSD for my network storage. I find them to be a massive net savings admin hassle for those roles, but it's way, way too much hassle for any web server I have now and there's just no way I can tolerate either as a workstation. I might as well run Windows... Even MacOS is too much of a hassle to use as a main workstation. Linux offers "locally run all your stuff exactly as it is on prod", in exchange for a kinda janky desktop experience. It's worth it to go MacOS on the laptop as it's just so much slicker in exchange for not being able to do everything on the go. But I guess it all depends on what kind of stuff you're supporting.
