I'd offer in counterargument that Linux is for getting things done, whereas BSD seems to be largely for people who view the OS itself as the hobby.

I have zero interest in tinkering with my operating system. I mostly want it to just get out of my way, which Linux does well 95% of the time.

That used to be the argument for Windows over Linux.

FreeBSD has always required far less tweaking or maintenance than Linux, though.
