@justine I would love to run BSD but I game and not everything on Steam works as expected on Linux and I fell into the base + Flatpak in $home workflow over time.
A lot of people will say the infrastructure changes a lot, but the vast majority of innovations have resulted in improvements to my flow so I go with it. Being a well seasoned user whose been daily driving Linux since the days of KDE 2.x back when SUSE came in a box, I have to say the experience gets better all the time.
That being said, I do love me some BSD and its always good to know the Unix-like landscape still has a lot of options.
