What do you guys think about FreeBSD? (lemmy.ml)

What makes BSD stand out as its own system? I've been thinking about installing it in a new computer mainly for reading but I don't know much about it.

I like using FreeBSD, the setup feels a lot nicer and more coherent than Linux in a lot of ways. I mainly tried it for native zfs.

The only downside is that nobody knows it exists so I have to compile things myself a lot or even patch it to get it to compile.
