Not the person you replied to but systemd was the last straw that made me switch all my servers to FreeBSD.

FreeBSD is much better at just not screwing everything up (particularly on OS updates). Sometimes I have to manually configure a new piece of hardware, but once I configure it it stays configured, and the way to configure it doesn't change from version to version.

On my new laptop I just didn't bother replacing windows. With "Bash on Windows" I can run all the unix programs I wanted to, but windows is handling all the session-management type stuff that systemd would do. I've found the system more reliable and better at responding to hardware changes. As much as there are horror stories of windows update breaking everything, I haven't experienced that myself (whereas I have had systemd updates leave systems non-booting).
