Reply to comment by twovests in linux will never be popular by twovests

I was briefly in a BSD server because I wanted to run it on my NAS so I could use ZFS in it's native environment but needed help debugging some driver issues.

The BSD people in there all hated Linux. It was kind of funny. And they have some pretty fair reasons but it was still funny what a chip they had on their shoulders.

Oh yeah, I've been convinced on the "BSD > Linux" debate ever since the most beautiful woman I've ever known waxed poetic on the elegance and power of BSD jails in comparison to Docker / LXC.

I have no compelling reason to use BSD desktop, my VPS provider doesn't support any BSD, I don't want to build my own router, etc.

It must be pretty arcane, it's used on... Checks the wikipedia article for FreeBSD Oh

You should switch provider, my obscure Hong Kong-based VPS provider has FreeBSD images lol and I use one for my personal VPS (which I came to regret because upgrading is a pain lol)
