Not a fanboy, thank you, just a happy IT pro. We use and prefer BSD and attendant software because we prefer the BSD/CDDL(ZFS)/MIT and similar licenses. The GPL is off-putting for what we do, so we avoid using Linux or other GPL'd software where equivalent BSD (or similar)-licensed software is extant.

So that's great as a concrete reason for why you choose to do this — doesn't it seem far more useful as a thing to talk about than the vagaries of “a far better OS for what ZFS users would be wanting anyway” or the unspecified “painful times I was forced to use Linux”?
