I did exactly the same and my reason is : Linux is chaos, FreeBSD is order. FreeBSD is so very well engineered, everything feels just right and logical. It's not the case with the fragmented world of Linux distributions. Unfortunately FreeBSD doesn't have the laptop driver coverage Linux has so I'm using Void Linux on my laptops because it is the most BSDish Linux.

Yeah good point. I'm not really a 'laptop guy'. I only use desktops (mostly NUCs). Which is basically a laptop without the battery, screen and keyboard anyway.

But I've heard WiFi drivers in particular are not so good - never really looked into it because I wire all my stuff up anyway.

I use a thinkpad laptop for work and a cheap $150 Chuwi laptop for the makerspace but that's all.
