BSDs have a superior architecture in many respects. This is especially true since the systemd takeover.
Administration on BSD servers just makes more sense. Linux seems to be all over the map. I think there are over 1000 Linux distros. Many distros want to change around the directory structure. Simple things, like starting services on bootup, and setting up static IP, become difficult with Linux because everybody wants to pull Linux in different direction - often for no good technical reason.
There is really only two distros. RedHat and Debian. Debian is a mess while RedHat combined what made sense. It's a really good mature OS with industrial grade applications. I've been around since the VMS days. One of the first real operating systems. Don't get me wrong, I used to know and love BSD back in the 1980s. I remember it fit on around 50 3.5" disks that I punched out from the University. Used to build X11 from source. However BSD today isn't that. It hasn't been a real player for a couple of decades, or so. It's really on life support. We can start to make the BSD tomb stone. It won't be long. I think I'll put it in the grave next to VMS.
