FreeBSD is an alternative and maybe better in some domains, hence I take a look at FreeBSD from time to time, at the moment I'm just owning https://nomadbsd.org/ on an USB stick. I strongly recommend to go without USB3, if this should workaround the issue. In my experiences USB3 rarely gains much, if anything at all. Compiling a kernel is less effort than installing and getting used to another operating system. And as already mentioned, when migrating to another operating system, pleased habits easily could result in new issues. 1. If possible don't migrate to Linux. 2. If there should be the need to migrate to Linux, don't use an unusual Linux, just because it's closer to FreeBSD's init.
