I think FreeBSD users are the literal gluten free vegans of the Linux community. That is if you want to consider them part of the community.

They don't use Linux and they don't use glibc.

I feel like with this analogy that would be like saying vegans are part of the meat community which I would assume most people would disagree with.

Of all the OSes I've tried to get into, FreeBSD is the worst by a longshot. I didn't even get it up and running because the community was so fucking toxic. Yes, I read the fucking manpages, no the thing I'm trying to do wasn't covered or was unclear. Oh my God, alright, nevermind.

I'm not sure I really see the reason to use BSD over Linux in the first place
