No anticompetitive behaviour or personal telemetry lost, Linux has the SMALLEST carbon footprint than Microcrap and/or Crapple, and because of the "many eyes" paradigm; fixes, updates, and security is made available almost immediately. Because of it's compatibility with older hardware, your favorite computer gathering dust can be resurrected to be productive again. See More
Very easy to install and upgrade. Clear, well-written documentation. See More
I like NetBSD's "academic" approach - rather do things correctly than rush them. If you want to get into kernel and/or device driver programming, there is probably no better OS to get started with. I gained most of my programming skills by dealing with NetBSD code about a decade ago, and I've been commended by clients for the clean code I designed for them on more occasions I can count since then.

It's the most portable OS in the world when considering what architectures it can run on. It runs on very wide range of hardware, from toaster to satellites. This of course does not mean it supports drivers for many consumer facing products making it a difficult solution to just boot up and use when compared to other OSs. See More
Excellent micro-kernel OS - good for learning, teaching and R&D. See More
