If you really think that FreeBSD whose developers often use Macs on desktop is any different, think again. Maybe OpenBSD but certainly not FreeBSD.

    I daily drive OpenBSD, I find it much better than my experience with FreeBSD. OpenBSD I feel has better wifi support, better VM support, and I found more of my devices worked on OpenBSD as opposed to FreeBSD (pair of USB Headphones I had just absolutely WOULD NOT work on FreeBSD, on OpenBSD it wasn't an issue)

    That being said OpenBSD's policy on AI isn't exactly clear yet. NetBSD however has straight up said no to AI.

    The BSD's are good, they've come a long way, but you can't go into them thinking you'll get a similar Linux up to date experience. the BSD's are still a few years behind but if you're going to try and make a switch I would suggest NetBSD or OpenBSD over FreeBSD. I might give NetBSD another go as I think I gave up on it last time because the install process annoyed me.

    As long as many BSD developers (especial at FreeBSD, I think it's a lesser degree with Net and Open) are Mac users who actively reject using any FOSS BSD on desktops/notebooks and only care about contributing regarding server stuff, this won't change.
