Interest in FreeBSD seems to be on the rise, with the advent of systemd. Many Linux users have been able to avoid it thus far, by sticking to 6.x Of RedHat and derivatives, or Debian 7. As these versions become longer in the tooth, it will be interesting to see if more people will switch over to FreeBSD. Popularity may not be a good thing however, with the recent political drama and institution of a code of conduct getting in the way of FreeBSD&#x27;s meritocratic approach. Thankfully, there&#x27;s still plenty of choice available in open source operating systems. Thankfully, we can always trust Theo to keep OpenBSD&#x27;s purist approach to technical correctness :P
