Haha, yeah.  I try not to be one of those people.  :-)
For a while when people wanted to one-up one another
about what OS they ran, I'd pull out my, "sorry, I run
Plan 9..." card.  :-)

I hear that, but I wanted something minimal, with
rolling updates.  I pretty much never sit in front of
a computer running Linux anymore, and rather just treat
it like a server that I log into remotely and do
development on.

As I recall, this is one of the areas where systemd
assumptions are starting to impact the BSD community;
GNOME 3 dependencies on systemd for management are the
sort of thing I'm talking about.  It's a shame.

Cool.  Give illumos a spin, too: probably the only
System V variant still actively maintained (or used in
commercial products!).  I find that the breadth is
good in giving one perspective.
