This is unacceptable to me. My work system must work. So I don't care about your theoretical list because I know for a fact that Linux is better for me in practice.

I keep fixing my colleagues Linux issues. In practice, I have spent less time fixing my own BSD systems.

I usually end up stuck with Linux systems at work because of proprietary code which doesn't run on BSD.
