Sadly, when Linux apps start requiring systemd, the BSDs will be nearly useless. It will happen, we all know it.

You cannot count on FreeBSD to run the latest version of LibreOffice, or anything else. Often, Linux apps will not run at all.
Not as many drivers as Linux, but that is less of a problem.
For now, at least, FreeBSD might make a good server.
