Use whatever you like, but I'd love an elaboration on "The macOS I know and love dying". I haven't loved some of the UX design decisions in the recent macOS releases, but it doesn't feel that different than it did 10 years ago, to me, and Apple silicon remains best in class.

I use Linux and MacOS. I did just remove Windows because I didn't want to migrate to W11.
Honestly, MacOS is great. I don't really understand the hate for it... and Apple hardware is genuinely a cut above the rest. I actually think it's really a pity that Apple is so big that it's able to vertically integrate so many areas of laptop development that OEMs struggle to compete.

As much as I love FreeBSD, it has its rough edges when it comes to daily use. And an upgrade, while much smoother than it used to be in the "make buildkernel; make buildworld" times, is still lacking and can break the system.
The saddest is that FreeBSD is massively underfunded. They still manage to do great stuff, make massive improvements. If the big corporations like Apple, who made billions on FreeBSD, could just return a couple millions in donations to the FreeBSD Foundation on a yearly basis, which for them would be less than a rounding error, the OS would be in a vastly different place now. But their corporate greed knows no bounds.

Apple made me realize that I should choose AGPL as a license for my own projects, because I don't agree with the implied contract values of X11/MIT or BSD licenses anymore.
The latter licenses I choose now only for things I absolutely don't care about and won't spend any time on. Things that I care about I license under AGPL. If someone wants it fixed by paying development time, great, then just offer it dual-licensed AGPL/EULA.

I hope you're prepared to build Electron apps from source, because they are absolutely not reliably available from the ports tree.
>While working with networking stuff, I deployed OpenBSD and FreeBSD machines for routing, security and email serving. I was always in awe that I could just do stuff easily. You want to do something at boot time? There is a script that gets run at boot time; put whatever you want in it.
Linux has this too, it's called Devuan. 90% of the reasons you'd want to move from Linux to BSD can be addressed by getting rid of everything associated with FreeDesktop.org.

You must accept the cold hard truth that you can't get rid of freedesktop.org unless you move to MacOS os Windows. Even *bsd s are infected with it the moment you want to do anything desktop-y with them.

Or use systemd, like a sane person.

But not for long, that's the whole point of not using systemd.

while systemd is indeed a turd, linux userspace sucks compared to bsd.

Ironically even FreeBSD core members have spoken about adopting some of what systemd does: https://papers.freebsd.org/2018/bsdcan/rice-the_tragedy_of_s...
But not for long, that's the whole point of not using systemd.
