As a Barista at BSD Cafe, I'm also an admirer of tea – a metaphor for my appreciation of the good features of other operating systems. And the fact that I like and support BSDs doesn't mean I don't appreciate those other solutions.
For example, #SmartOS, #OmniOS, and #Tribblix are superb examples of well-crafted operating systems.
Similarly, #Linux - #openSUSE Tumbleweed-based desktops give me a lot of satisfaction every day.
The foundation of my passion for Open Source also stems from the ability to study, explore, and choose without constraints or restrictions. It's that sense of freedom that drives me to appreciate the good in every solution.
If and when I feel caged or forced, all of that vanishes.
