| Actually it is, at least these days. I tried to use BSD for the past 20 years just to keep my knowledge up to date but only on hobby machines and never for work but frankly gave up using it within the past 5 years. I don't care about the philosophies as they don't seem to bring much benefit. What actual benefit do you see with being "more unified"? I never understood that part. "Better doc" isn't even practical when you google around, you get all the Linux gotchas solved already by someone else when you get far less info on BSD. And then lack of packages and environments like Docker and Homebrew and all I see is limitations. The only thing I miss is probably pf firewall but unless I'm running a router to utilize more rules than simple port allowances, ufw is fine enough. zfs on Ubuntu is darn easy to get started and I just lost much reason to stay with BSD. And considering that I want to setup monitoring, logging and backing up to a central server to be aligned with other servers, things get pretty tough too.
