I'm not a fan of Stallman either. I think he focuses too much on the legalese around licences. Personally I don't care about licensing very much at all. I ignore all licenses and terms & conditions anyway (and to be perfectly honest; who actually reads them?)
Nor commercial involvement (e.g. RedHat/IBM or Ubuntu) for that matter. This is why I'm better off with BSD anyway because there's so much less commercial involvement.
And Linus yes he can be abrasive but usually I would agree with him more.

Well I'm certainly not very good with Linux anymore since I've used it less and less recently, gravitating more towards the BSDs. So that's not a bad point, I know how to start and stop systemd services and a bit on how to get logging back etc. But the point is, I never really wanted to learn something new. I've used FreeBSD since version 6 and it's hardly changed at all. And it works totally fine for me. But "being good with Linux" is not a goal for me anyway. I don't currently need it for my career anyway.
In the mean time I've been on Macs, but I really really abhor the way that Apple is constantly changing things around on me too (they are far worse at this than Linux) and they are consumerising the OS rapidly. So when I went back to FOSS I decided to go for BSD for this reason.
