A separate family of operating systems. It’s a direct decendant of the old UNIX. FreeBSD, OpenBSD and NetBSD are the most common ones.
I used FreeBSD as my daily driver back in the day, but now I’m also on Mint, mostly because I used linux more.
I’ve been meaning to check out BSD these days to see how far it’s come since I last used it 20ish years ago, I just haven’t gotten around to it.

Well I sure used to like LSD, but I get the feeling that I’m not qualified for Berkeley’s other offering.

if you’re used to the command line, a lot will seem familiar at a first glance Until one runs into “unknown option --help” and the multitude of other quality-of-life improvements that at least FreeBSD never ported. I frankly doubt it that they changed a noticeable amount in that department in the past twenty years.
