Whilst BSD isn’t linux per se, it still has a lasting legacy in the unix like space and notably has been used in game consoles like the PS4.

For you in your personal use case, have you tried a bsd distro? What was better compared to the average linux distro?

Apparently BSD is more modular with its jailing system and seems to have a lower resource usage.

I look at ones like NETBSD and FreeBSD and think, "what exactly do I get out of them that I wouldn’t with Linux say, Ubuntu or Void as an example?

What are your thoughts on BSD, you use FreeBSD before?

    I’ve used Linux for 20 years now, and yes the experience was similar to back then.
    But back then, there wasn’t a better FOSS option. Now there’s modern Linux.
    Don’t get me wrong, I think BSD is a great system. It’s just not the right OS for a new-ish convertible laptop.
