Sure, I'll just write up a proposal for my employer to move multiple tens of thousands of Linux servers, VMs and containers over to BSD. I have a good feeling about this. /s

Here is something to consider: how did your employer get to tens of thousands of Linux servers from whatever they were running on before?

And: do you really want to spend the rest of your professional career wrangling with a shoddy product, or do you want to actally do professional, cutting edge IT?

I can't write for you, but I did not graduate computer science at the top of my class so that I could spend the next several decades working with / on the shittiest, amateur knock-off copy of UNIX when I could run the real thing for free & cheap. That's not why I studied at a university and got a degree for. How about you, what's it gonna be, shitty Linux for the next 20-30 years or the real computer science with SmartOS or FreeBSD?
