There’s always a guy. It’s great that your favorite distro is definitely safer. An order of magnitude fewer exploits will mean only a few thousand or so, I suppose. Ozymandis used Gentoo.

Calling FreeBSD "just a distro" is verging on insulting. It's an operating system.

Well, as they're a FreeBSD dev, I would be surprised if they pointed anyone in a different direction.

FreeBSD is not a distro. It's not even Linux; it's a completely different kernel and operating system that traces back to even before Linux. It's honestly closer to Darwin than it is to Linux; macOS is technically a BSD. (Not FreeBSD though.)

Darwin is its own thing really. There are parts from BSD, there are also parts from Mach and there are also unique parts.

What does the D in BSD stand for again?

Distribution. Which is a different word than distro, with a different meaning. Like smart and smartass.

Distribution. But it’s not a Linux distribution.
