Linux gets a lot of love there on Fedi, so I think it would be cool if BSD would get some of it too.

For those unaware it's a Unix-like operation system, one of they key differences from Linux is a more permissive license, so PlayStation 4 or MacOS are originally based on it.

There's a list of existing communities:

Apparently, there's also a Lemmy instance dedicated to BSD โ€” https://blendit.bsd.cafe/

Note: No .ml communities, as my instance is defederated from them.

You can read about it on the FreeBSD website โ€” https://freebsdfoundation.org/freebsd-project/what-is-freebsd/

Over Linux I assume? It has some unique stuff, like ZFC completely integrated. There's monolithic approach, Linux is just a kernel with a lot of distros, while with bsd kernel, userland and utilities are developed together. Some people say that is also more simple and logical than Linux. In my opinion both are good, it just depends on your use case.

Also most of ppl who use BSD use Linux too from my experience.
