So you like FreeBSD, eh? Hark! A glimmer of taste! Brought to you at the same address after each reboot by the First Powerhouse Church of the Presumptuous Assumption of the Blinding Byte.
“FreeBSD: It melts in your mouth, not in your hand!”
For me, FreeBSD's main place in my house is for the file server, because I don't have to worry as much that some hostile Linux kernel developers will break ZFS on me in the future. The support for booting from zfs is also more developed than it is on Linux. It also is systemd free out of the box, and it's kind of fun to play with Jails instead of Docker for my nextcloud server.
Of course, the second server in my house is a Linux box which is primarily a docker server to run some applications that either need faster single core performance than the old Opteron box, or don't run well on FreeBSD because they were written in dotnet. (My Linux server is a Ryzen 3700x 8 core that's only a couple years old, the Freebsd box is a 32 core Opteron that is nearing a decade old.)
If I want to play with NetBSD, I can just mess around with sdf, I use OpenBSD on some of my internet servers, and I've been dabbling with DragonflyBSD now and then.
