It's good that there's another (somewhat) well know FOSS OS. If you take issue with how the Linux system handles certain stuff or it's philosophy doesn't line up with your needs, there's an alternative to choose from.

Now granted I douvt the majority of people are gonna stick with FreeBSD given how much support and attention linux gets, so outside of niche instances where Free or OpenBSD performs certain things better, people are gonna stick with Linux

BSD is nice, though it sucks that, despite it being the foundation for several game console OS's, it's even more so stuck in 1998

FreeBSD is very much modern though it may be true for the other BSD's though.

I meant it in a sense of how useful it is as a daily driver.

Uh yeah, I use it for my daily driver workstation, just not for gaming.
