Just because we suggest a better option doesnt mean we are your enemy :)

Places to be wary:

OMG Ubuntu Sux!

Linux Questions (that they'll never answer after berating you)

Stack Deranged
(text walls about whether or not your question is appropriate, instead of just answering it)

Meme confirms it. BSD is so dead it wasn’t worth mentioning.

BSD is so dead

No evidence.

Linux might won on quantity, but its quality is not comparable to BSDs.

A typical example is OpenBSD, to quote Michael W. Lucas:

Many open source operating system put a lot of effort into growing their user base, evangelizing, and bringing new people into the Unix fold. OpenBSD does not.

The communities surrounding other operating systems actively encourage new users and try to make newbies feel welcome. OpenBSD specifically and deliberately does not.

The developers know exactly who their target market is: themselves. If you can use their work, that's great. If not, go away until you can.

They will not hold your hand. They will not develop new features to please users. OpenBSD exist to meet the needs of the developers, and while others are welcome to ride along, the needs of the passengers do not steer the project.

And it still live well?!@
