@lucifargundam i used to have some respect for FBSD. but two things happened: the hug ban, and the devs don't really dogfood BSD these days. they run macs and tinker on bsd, they do not consume and live bsd. (miss me with "but darwin is a proprietary fork of ..")

still, FBSD is competent. or it used to be. i'm not sure. a lot of stuff has gone to containerization and the BSDs don't play well with it. FBSD has jails, so it kind of pre-empted docker that way, but the other BSDs don't have paravirtualization like that.

openbsd does dogfood, but is somewhat unusable. i wouldn't use it for much other than a bastion server or something that can afford to be really boxed off in a tradeoff for security.

i've never tried netbsd. it seems to run on a lot. they try some stuff. i just checked and they don't have jails/heavy sandboxing, which is eh.

i could be convinced to try some BSDs but it would be tricky
