I've been a FreeBSD user since 2.05 (1995) and a strong supporter - FreeBSD still excels as an ultra-stable 'old-school' UNIX server OS (which to be honest meets a lot of use-cases more simply than a lot of modern alternatives). That being said this sort of post isn't helpful as advocacy - as others have notes it is pretty shallow and to be honest most people are probably better off running Linux if this is what they are used to.

+1! Thank you!

Been using FreeBSD for 20 years. If one's reason for using FreeBSD is that they dislike GNU/Linux, then something's very wrong from the start.

"those who hate windows use linux, those who love unix use BSD."
