    I’m running FreeBSD I actually like it a lot.

    I picked it for zfs. A lot of the ways things work seem cleaner and simpler than on Linux and zfs is awesome with the copy on write snapshots and filesystem compression and all that. I like rc.conf and pf is way nicer than iptables and even when you upgrade it automatically makes a snapshot so you can rollback.

    Sometimes I do need to patch and compile things because people seem to not know freebsd exists but that’s really the only downside.

      Same here for the same reasons (although I started with FreeBSD 4.x) and have adapted to ZFS and Jails over the years.

      The POLA (Principle Of Least Astonishment) when it comes to changes is awesome too.
