Yup, since I switched to FreeBSD year or more ago it makes watching news like this much less stressful.

Curious why Free>Open, for your usecase, as I'd like to learn more about them.

Very simple reason, zfs, checksums and scrub. I would love to use open but I was already bitten by bit rot on ext4 on linux.

I love arch, I was using it for over 10 years in a row, but it uses systemd now 'owned' by IBM.

There is also Gentoo, Alpine, and Void.
