There's no reason to use BSD unless you were already using it for some reason, or you're a corporation who's scared of the GPL.
The advantages of FreeBSD that people claim (ZFS, jails) already exist on Linux in the form of OpenZFS w/ DKMS and containers.
Some people will say OpenBSD is "more secure", but the thing is, attackers attack your applications, NOT your OS. The same Postgres/PHP/nginx exploit will work the same on every operating system no matter how souped up the security of your BSD is.
MAYBE NetBSD has a very niche use case if you're running it on some ancient SPARC/MIPS/whatever toaster from the 90's that isn't supported by modern Linux.

>>32663An attacker would need RCE to exploit this vuln anyway. And if an attacker has RCE then you’re toast anyway.
That is unless you have a strict, enforcing SELinux policy. Which BSDs don’t really have any equivalent to. In OpenBSD pledge exists to limit syscalls. But the application has to be patched to support it, which no one bothers with (even for the most popular software), so it might as well not exist.
