As a small user I find it hard to find a use case where I’d want a bsd for some reason. I even installed ghostbsd in a vm to try it but it seemed very similar to linux so I didn’t understand what’s the upside?
And when running a Samba server, it's helpful that FreeBSD supports NFSv4 ACLs when sitting between ZFS and SMB clients; on Linux, Samba has to hack around the lack of NFSv4 ACL support by stashing them in xattrs.
You can arguably get even better ZFS and SMB integration with an Illumos distribution, but for me FreeBSD hits the sweet spot between being nice to use and having the programs I need in its package library.
This can be automated by whatever is updating your kernel.
But I definitely believe that everything you can do on FreeBSD, you can also do on Linux. For me it's the complete package though that comes with FreeBSD, and everything being documented in the man pages and the handbook.
If the product is python, thats what it is. there is no python-additonal-headers or python-dev or bundle-which-happens-to-be-python-but-how-would-you-know.
There is python, and there are meta-ports which explicitly 'call' the python port.
The most notable example being X11. Its sub-parts are all very rational. fonts are fonts. libs are libs. drm is drm. drivers are drivers.
(yes, there is the port/pkg confusion. thats a bit annoying.)
