I'm going to be honest, it feels like you might have some kinda superiority complex here... I'm sure BSDs are lovely and great and I'm really glad you enjoy using them, but Linux and BSD are both great options for people, and I'm glad they're both available.

I don't really care about the whole systemd conflict. All I care about is that I own my computer and I control all of the software that runs on it. If I wanted to, I could swap out systemd for init or sysV or whatever but I don't want to because I'm very familiar with it at this point, it works fine.

If I need BSD for something, I will certainly be more than happy to reach for it. Actually, come to think of it, I do use BSD - OpenWRT is BSD based I believe, and I have a few Wi-Fi access points/routers running OpenWRT.

    I couldn't care less which software other people use. It seemed strange to me to run an operating system that won't support the software I need natively, that's all.

    So you understand the appeal of why someone would use FreeBSD, and you also understand that there's some software which is only available for Windows that people might still want to use, so... I don't really understand how that's particularly strange, but I hope you understand now that we've talked it out that it's pretty ordinary.
