the problem is, pf/opnsense aren’t based on Linux…

oh, well in that case you should fuck around with BSD someday, i've been meaning to do so, just haven't gotten around to it. the various BSDs are the siblings of linux.

as for all of the networking side of things, networking is just a nightmare, that's just something you have to learn about. Setting up your own local network to figure out how things work in a sterile controlled environment would be good.

I already have my own network with stuff and things... it's mostly just the simple stuff (TrueNAS scale, pihole, wireguard, nextcloud and other things like that). But yeah, outside my mac, I have literally 0 experience with BSD...

yeah, pretty much the same for me, just a little more primitive by nature.

I hear BSD is pretty nice since it's one system, instead of a modular system, it makes the actual functionality of the system a little nicer, as well a improving security quite a bit.

I can't imagine it's much different than linux, they're both unix related, and unix shares heavy ties with most unix related OSs these days.
