@justine, I embraced Linux at the same time you did. And I'm embracing FreeBSD. Is it an age thing? Maybe. I'm not young anymore πŸ₯Ί πŸ™ˆ

But I'm switching to FreeBSD because:

1. I wanted to go back to my roots, and I love learning Operating Systems πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ I started learning IBM MVS before someone nudged me to FreeBSD.

2. I'm a bit tired of some overcomplications brought to Linux. Not that I cannot handle them technically. I feel Linux has been bloated by tech companies wanting to push their agenda. It's ok for work, but ... for my pleasure? I know this is a controversial topic.

3. This is probably because it is an age thing related to the former point. I'm tired of "fighting" wars, at least in my spare time. I don't want to attend conferences where people want to show off (I do that for work, but please not in my spare time). A classical phrase from this old lady is "just leave me alone and let me enjoy the technology."

@tara @justine I have to agree with about #linux used more #openbsd in the past but #freebsd really rocks.

@tara @justine basically all the reasons I've stuck with FreeBSD since about 2002

@tara @justine I like the order and practicality of OpenBSD. Linux has actually become very complex, and I don't think it's all a good thing.

@tara @justine honestly it's not an age thing, Linux feels..... yeah, overly complex. We're actually leaning towards Solaris and its various friends and family more than BSD
