      Might be based on FreeBSD, but much in the same way as Android is based on Linux, it doesn’t provide you any of the freedoms that a typical Linux distro does.

      That you don’t have admin access to. Good for not fucking it up, bad for freedom.

        It’s remarkably difficult to really fuck up freebsd. On Linux, getting boots to fail is easy. FreeBSD is quite a bit more robust in that regard, as the base image isn’t updated piecemeal.

        I’d easily make the trade of linux standard being impossible to fuck up without rooting it, if it meant it became as easy to run as a commercial OS.
