Funny to see FreeBSD promoted, and Linux taken down a notch in the top comment on a thread for an article celebrating 30 years of Linux...well, funny, if a bit unexpected...
I think it might be the the underdog or obscurity element, but pro-BSD (anti-Linux) comments are frequently upvoted here. More unusual I think would be to see one criticizing one of the free BSDs relative to Linux, surely?
Some prominent Linux developers and interactions in person or on mailing lists can be nasty, rude, even bullying. There are also a great deal of very nice people, and in the middle are a lot of people who can get frustrated or upset at times when discussions become robust, but are not inherently mean.
Exactly the same for the BSDs. The free BSDs have famously fragmented into several major groups, in some cases due to quite toxic conflicts including by some prominent members and leaders. BSDs are not objectively better than Linux in that regard.
