There's a recent user video that explains the advantages, disadvantages, and unique features of FreeBSD.

I hope it helps.

FreeBSD does have uses in industry, because large companies use it and receive donations, although not as many as the Linux Foundation.

The problem is that it doesn't have as widespread support from various sources as Linux, let alone Windows, so installing FreeBSD on newer hardware can be difficult if you don't have a technician to help you.

In addition, there isn't enough native software, although that could be covered by using a compatibility layer with Linux and/or Wine. You could also use virtual machines. However, you may not need to do that if the software can run on the operating system without any problems despite not having official support.

But FreeBSD is very stable, has its own package, which is quite intuitive, and has a file system called ZFS and security.

Support is another issue, but this problem is shared by less popular and less widely used Linux distributions and other operating systems that aren't widely used. Hiring someone to solve a problem that's affecting you can be very expensive, and there are three options.

1. You pay for expensive technical support
2. You create a technical support team for that system
3. You are the technical support team itself
