on the one hand, a much younger me really loved hacking on a BSD and learning internals up close
on the other hand, a current day me really liked building on top of a unix-like kernel that worked on a broad modern hardware base and could run every application I wanted it to, until the slop got to it

I really like the BSD userland compared with the tower of awful hacks (with a weird fandom) that the Linux one is I don’t relish the lack of hardware support and associated extreme frustration and packing up your shit and moving really feels more polite and more fragile than the dickheads slopping up the kernel deserve, though I understand the need for important systems
