I saw this on Twitter and the associated #OSSThanksgiving tag([https:/

Alternative OS?! I have not used anything BUT FreeBSD in 17 years!

Pop [http://www.serenityos.org/](http://www.serenityos.org/) in a VM?
It has been looking pretty fun

I would use Plan9 before I'd do that.

[http://9fs.net/](http://9fs.net/) I think is the modern maintained

Oberon.

That's as alternative as you can get!

I started with 4.3, occasionally tried to hop on various Linux

haven't tried Linux anymore.

I agree with you. There are no alternatives to FreeBSD.
