I know this might be a couple months old, but I didn't know we already passed 4%.

I love Linux but I wish the BSDs weren’t getting left behind.

For the record, I really like macOS and Apple products as my “consumer” devices but all my side projects, web servers, routers, etc. run Linux. I ran FreeBSD for a long time until I got into containerization and Docker.

    People like Theo De Raadt might have had a fairly huge impact on killing BSD.

    He might have alienated a lot of people from even considering bsd.

    The Linux community also had a lot of help by vendors such as Suse and Redhat who had no problems implementing good ideas which were a bit toxic, but were available in windows. Commercial venders can make a massive difference (as well as government deployments).

    The big problem has been people resistant to change
