FreeBSD is more compatible. I've used it a bit. I like it. I wouldn't drop Linux for it however. I'm sure people have and are currently sneaking AI code into NetBSD and other projects. If you want an AI-free kernel, you'll need a time machine as much as that sucks. I'm not saying don't try out NetBSD. I wouldn't switch to it though. If you do though, more power to you. I wish FreeBSD had more of the software I use on Linux. I also wish my wi-fi card worked with it.
