What makes BSD stand out as its own system? I've been thinking about installing it in a new computer mainly for reading but I don't know much about it.

It's because one of its tenets is POLA (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principle_of_least_astonishment). I use it for every server I run (4 physical, 37 'jailed'). Desktop it's "OK" and can be hit and miss with a lot of hardware, I'll admit it. It works on my laptop perfectly, and on my desktop generally.
