How is BSD better than Linux or MacOS?

[–] pete_the_cat@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

The BSDs are still FOSS unlike OS X, OS X was derived from FreeBSD. I definitely wouldn't say that the BSDs are better than Linux though.

Just because it's Foss doesn't mean it's instantly better. My rule of thumb is to treat BSD like a trial version of Linux. It never failed.

Of course being FOSS doesn't inherently make it better, but that's usually the case.

I've administered BSD servers professionally and I have to say that it was one of the nicest, most consistent, operating systems I've worked with. I've worked with Linux since the mid-90s and done more than my fair share of Windows Server/AD admin. and I would gladly manage a room full of BSD hosts again.
