No love for BSD?

Yes, more free beta-testing for Apple, Netflix, Cisco, Sony, and other large commercial users is definitely needed and beneficial to the development of the free world. Or so I've been told

Baby steps. Lets not rush it, else they might get scared and change their minds.
Its a big step for them to go from commercial to open source, lets keep it linux for now

Sell me on why I should choose BSD over Linux.
It seems like driver support for BSD has always been a bit sketchy. Is that still the case?

For the drivers yes, but with lot of improvements from lasts years with funding in FreeBSD and recent driver in openBSD
But apart from that, BSD have numerous advantages over Linux distributions :
The system is designed/controlled by a one team, with better uniformity at the end, in contrast to Linux world where you have a assembly of multiple projects developed by multiple teams
ZFS. It’s also available on Linux but in BSD (especially FreeBSD) it’s a first-class citizen
The documentation is also better. The OpenBSD is outstanding, you can literally use only the doc without external source of knowledge for virtually anything. FreeBSD doc is also very good.
The core utility is also very helpful. FreeBSD with Dtrace and jails, OpenBSD with pledge and unveil for example.

So does digital sovereignty in this context mean "backdoored to hell and back" by France so it is patriotic this time? I am deeply cynical about citing sovereignty as a reason for anything because it just means "We can do whatever the fuck we want because we have monopoly on violence!".

It would be really stupid to backdoor a open source distro with do many eyes on.
