@justine I'm the opposite, so it's not age... I was a ravenous FreeBSD fan, ran (and still would, were it not for performance) OpenBSD as a firewall/router for many years. Currently maining Linux because work - BSD world is a much smaller market to find a role in.
I think the BSDs just attract a certain type of person, whether it's traditionalist, "KISS", or to paraphrase SwiftOnSecurity... "sacrifice her to the ancient ones". 🤣
But definitely not age related.
