In short: - Jails ; - ZFS ; - Simplicity (not always the case though). Type mount on a fresh FreeBSD and a fresh Linux and admire that. Also applies to initial processes ; - Documentation (not the best though, OpenBSD has the best doc out there) but all BSD have the most well documented stuff ; - pf ; - poudriere ; - src.conf, make.conf and easy world rebuild ; - LLVM instead of GCC. But, not to denigrate Linux, also places where Linux kicks FreeBSD: - ACPI ; - ACPI ; - ACPI ; - Laptop support ; - ACPI ; - Modern features (or modern... I mean even the touchpad does not work out of the box usually): Wayland is still buggy ; - Speed ; - And, ACPI. > Several yeas ago I would say ZFS was a killer feature, but now Linux has > ZFS too, and AFAIK FreeBSD is going to migrate to Linux's ZFS > implementation. Linux has unofficial ZFS support, it's not in the kernel and it's a real mess. HTH, -- David
