I've got the impression that the OP's main question isn't in the original mail's body, it is in the subject "freebsd or linux". Those operating systems have some things in common. For example, they share that both allow to install another operating system on the same machine, IOW it is possible to install both operating systems on one computer and to experience the differences. An important differences between FreeBSD and Linux might be, that Linux is provided by distributions that follow different policies. For testing purpose the OP should consider to install a so called Linux "major distribution" (https://distrowatch.com/dwres.php?resource=major) parallel to FreeBSD and to spend some time with each install, to find out which one does fit better to the OP's usage. Regarding operating system sectarianism it could be important to know who is better, Beastie or Tux? You could get in contact with them, by a portal such as https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/75/Thorn-apple.jpg/1280px-Thorn-apple.jpg or https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/4a/Psilocybe_semilanceata_6514.jpg/1024px-Psilocybe_semilanceata_6514.jpg and discuss this first-hand with Beastie and Tux.
