I like Linux. I like the options, the countless tweaks, and all the software I could never go through all of being right there. So what if I don’t want Linux, but still want all of these benefits? What if I want all my GNU software, but a different kernel? FreeBSD has been there for a long time, and it is still there. I have spent a cursory and surface level amount of time using and reading about it, and come to a few conclusions about this Unix-based operating system. Being that FreeBSD is considered modern Unix, while Linux is its own thing today, I have donned my wizard hat and robe and grown my beard a few inches after using the operating system for a time.
