You make a very good point about Chrome. If Google was not the lord of development I might actually have nodded along with that as well.
My BSD experience comes from Truenas core which did not play nice with docker and needed a ton of custom work with jails. They have since moved to Linux with scale and suddenly everything integrates a lot more nicely.
Though there are multiple Linux versions as well maintained by different companies. But the altruistic dictator still plays a key role. I'm not sure what my opinion is now.
Well, I funnily enough also agree with you, having just one widely used browser engine for all platforms sounds great in theory... (Until someone decides to not let you block advertisement anymore...;-))
Docker is one of the reasons I use Linux and for all practical purposes nearly all open source software is developed for Linux and later ported to the BSDs (if one is lucky) - so, again, I am also using Linux because it runs what I need to run.
I simply would love to have some practical and relevant options for OSS operating systems. I fully understand that this is not going to happen and Linux won.
Anyway, have a good day!
