DoerkA few days ago I talked to someone about FreeBSD and the advantages I see in using it. He answered that he tried it some years ago, but once installed, he didn’t know what to do with it.
So I asked why didn’t you know what to do? It’s an operating system and you can do everything you want. I told him about jails and he replied that Linux has docker, so he sees no reason in switching to FreeBSD. I told him above bhyve and he responded that he used KVM. I told him about the licensing model and the freedom it provides but he just shrugged. I told him about the freedom of choice you have as it comes as an OS only and he told me that he doesn’t want to decide everything by himself, he wants something like Ubuntu that makes decisions for its users.
Sometimes we just have to accept that FreeBSD is not for everyone. Or are there any better arguments I should have brought to the table? And yes, I also talked about FreeBSDs init system, but he said he is happy with systemd as he never touches it. You are probably better off with an OS that decides everything for you when you just want to use it like windows.
